RELIGHT My Fire, The Man With the Golden Gun... and of course, Shout - legendary singer Lulu has enjoyed a string of smash hits and now Southend theatre-goers have the chance to see her perform them in person.

Celebrating 55 years since the release of her debut smash hit single Shout, Lulu has announced a new tour for this autumn. The On Fire tour will see the Grammy-nominated singer play 35 dates across the UK, starting on September 19 and ending on November 2.

A show spokesman said: “On Fire is a show packed full of hits, such as The Man Who Sold The World, Relight My Fire, To Sir With Love and, of course, Shout, amongst many others, as Lulu recounts her remarkable life now at 70 years old and a career that has outshone many of her contemporaries.

“Backed by her band, a huge LED screen (for the first time) showing carefully selected personal and career defining moments, Lulu will have audiences nationwide, sitting, standing, dancing, singing, laughing and simply listening to an amazing story that started on 3rd November 1948.”

Lulu herself added: “I’ve so enjoyed touring with my amazing band over the past few years that it didn’t take very long for me to get the urge to hit the road again.

“We’ll be playing here, there and everywhere, so I invite fans old and new to come along and share a great night covering my six decades in music.”

The recent announcement of her new tour comes just 48 hours after Lulu was revealed as Take That’s very special guest for their 37-date Greatest Hits Live Tour, where every night they will reunite to perform their #1 smash hit Relight My Fire together.

Lulu will be bringing her On Fire tour to the Cliffs Pavilion in Southend on Wednesday October 30. Tickets are £32.50- £44.50. Visit southendtheatres.org.uk.
