ANNIE LENNOX SETS A NORTH AMERICAN TOUR IN SUPPORT OF SONGS OF MASS DESTRUCTION

Iconic artist Annie Lennox will begin a North American headlining tour on October 8th in San Diego, California in support of her new album, Songs Of Mass Destruction, set for release October 2nd on Arista Records.

The tour, ‘Annie Lennox Sings’ will continue through November 11th with only fifteen intimate performances in as many cities. Performing in smaller venues, this tour, the 3rd of her solo career, will give fans the opportunity to enjoy her new material and beloved classics in a special and extraordinarily rare environment. Annie’s exquisite voice and mesmerizing stage presence will be illuminated in this once in a lifetime concert experience.

In the fifteen years since the release of her debut solo album, Diva, in 1992, Annie Lennox has built the most successful career of any British female artist in pop music history. She has sold over 78 million records worldwide, scored numerous Top Ten hits around the world, and earned four Grammy Awards. Annie co-wrote and performed “Into the West,” from The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King, which won the Academy Award and Golden Globe for Best Original Song in 2004.

Annie Lennox’s appearance with Sting on 2004’s ‘The Sacred Love Tour’ drew packed houses and rave reviews all across North America. The Seattle Post Intelligencer declared, “Lennox's voice was spectacular,” and the Chicago Tribune called her “one of the great blue-eyed soul singers.”
