Michael Buble is performing in a series of concerts
The Canadian artist Michael Bublé has had a meteoric rise to fame since his acclaimed self-titled album in 2003 and is to perform in a series of concerts across the UK in May 2010.
He’s sold more than 20 million albums worldwide. Having earned two Grammy nominations and reached a multi-platinum status with his 2005 album It’s Time, he has made smooth swing and big band sounds trendy once more. With his third album Call Me Irresponsible being released in May 2009, Bublé is at the pinnacle of his career.
It’s a success that’s well deserved for the first seven years of his career saw Bublé struggling to take on every gig imaginable – even working as a singing Santa Claus. After Michael McSweeney saw Bublé perform at a business party, he introduced the singer to David Foster, a record executive and producer who, despite being not too sure “how to market this kind of music,” managed to release a debut album that went straight into the top 10 in Canada, the UK and South Africa and reached number one in Australia. Although he’s famed for his reworked Sinatra-ish songs, Bublé’s new album contains two self-penned tracks which have been described as some of his best work yet with the song “Haven’t met you yet” causing hearts to flutter everywhere.
Concerts are to take place in Sheffield, Glasgow, Manchester, Liverpool, Newcastle, Birmingham and London. You may think May is a long way off but we reckon tickets for these will be like gold dust before too long.
