Australian music icon Mark Kennedy, the rhythmic powerhouse behind Spectrum, Marcia Hines, and Leo Sayer, has passed away in Victoria following a long illness.

With the 2025 leg of his sold-out Still Feel Like Dancing! Australian tour wrapping up this weekend, Leo Sayer isn't ready to hang up the mic just yet. The beloved British-born, Australian-adopted icon has announced two major encore shows for early 2026, a third and final night at Melbourne's Palms at Crown on Sunday 25 January, and a One Night Only show at Sydney's State Theatre on Saturday 18 April.

Leo Sayer has expanded his Australian tour with eight new shows added taking Leo through until the end of October.

There really is a riot going on right now, so what a poignant moment it seems to be to lose a hero I never met, yet a man I often imagined as my soul brother. I worked with many of his alumni (including the man who helped invent him, fellow San Fran disk jockey Tom Donahue), and to say they and he inspired me would be a useless understatement.

Leo Sayer will play a limited run of theatre shows in Australia in August and September. The ‘Still Feel Like Dancing?’ tour will be Leo’s first Australian tour in six years.

Leo Sayer turned 77 today (21 May) and dropped a ‘77’ music video with his life highlights for all to see.

Richard Perry, the legendary producer who worked on albums for Barbra Streisand, Rod Stewart, Ringo Starr, Leo Sayer and Carly Simon, has died at the age of 82.
