LEGENDARY showman Barry Manilow is bringing his last ever concert tour to Bournemouth tomorrow night at the BIC.

Last year Barry Manilow announced that he is going to “hit the road” and perform concerts across the world one last time.

The entertainer launched his One Last Time Tour last autumn in North America and is now touring the UK.

The BIC was one of several extra dates added due to “phenomenal public demand”. With his band of 13 musicians and singers, Manilow said, “We had a great time putting the show together. We hope to take everyone on an emotional roller coaster. I can’t wait to see everyone dancing in the aisles.”

After performing more than 400 concerts at the Las Vegas Hilton and Paris Las Vegas from 2005 through 2011, Manilow has limited his concert appearances.

The One Last Time Tour is a major undertaking and as Manilow said: “is my way of thanking everyone for their years of support… one last time!”

The Grammy, Tony, and Emmy Award-winning musician’s career skyrocketed to superstardom when his mega hit song, Mandy, topped the charts in 1975.

Over the past 45 years he has built a massive collection of music. Of course, there are songs like Copacabana, Looks Like We Made It and Can’t Smile Without You, but Manilow has nearly 30 studio albums and has sold more than 80 million albums worldwide.

Platinum-selling and nine time Grammy nominated saxophonist Dave Koz is the special guest. Koz, who has previously performed with such superstars as Burt Bacharach, Kenny Loggins, U2, Luther Vandross and Rod Stewart.
