After nearly 5 decades in the business, it is with great excitement that legendary singer Alexander O’Neal heads out on his ‘Time to Say Goodbye’ Farewell World tour. The star is hitting the road one final time.

‘Time to Say Goodbye’ takes the audience on a wonderful journey through his incredible career with never before seen photos, testimonies and tributes, all set to the tune of Alex’s most beloved songs from his legendary catalogue including ‘Criticize’, ‘Fake’ and ‘If you were here tonight’. Accompanied by his exemplary 9 piece live band there won’t be a dry eye in the house as audiences come together to celebrate the legacy of Alexander O’Neal.

Boasting a soulful yet tough enough voice noted to have the same grain and range as that of Otis Redding, Alexander O’Neal is comfortable with pumping dance floor burners and slinky couch cuddlers. The strength of his material and his robust vocals can be heard on his many chart topping releases including 1985’s eponymous debut Alexander O’Neal , 1987’s smash hit album ‘Hearsay', 1991 'All True Man' and 1998 'Lovers' again.

‘The South London Soul crowd has always supported me throughout my career’ said Alex, ‘They were there for me in the beginning and I’m coming back to say thank you for that support, I specifically asked that on the farewell tour there had to be a date for Fairfield Halls Croydon – the venue is linked forever with the UK soul scene in the mid to late 80’s. I can’t wait to come back and party with them one more time!’

Joining Alex as a special guest will be the UK’s Queen of Soul – Jaki Graham – instantly known for classic 80’s hits such as 'Set Me Free', 'Round & Round', 'Could it be I’m falling in Love' , 'Breaking Away' and her 90’s cover of Chaka Khans '‘Aint Nobody' – which went to #1 in the US Billboard Dance charts
