X-Factor winner Alexandra Burke has postponed her forthcoming 'Lady Sings The Blues' UK tour, due to overwhelming demand for tickets from fans.
Alexandra Burke was due to take residence in Royal Albert Hall’s Elgar Room next month for her own unique concert version of 'Lady Sings The Blues'. Following in the footsteps of her idols Billie Holiday and Diana Ross, Alexandra was set to perform, with a full jazz band, her own take on the legendary 1972 film soundtrack of the same name.
However, news has recently broken that the singer will re-schedule the performances for later this year, at additional venues, allowing more fans to purchase tickets for the performances. A post on Twitter reads:
'Statement re: @alexandramusic: 'Due to an overwhelming demand for tickets, Alexandra Burke has decided to postpone her June 'Lady Sings The Blues' concerts and re-schedule the performances for later this year, at additional venues. Tickets for the six dates at the Royal Albert Hall's Elgar Room sold out within hours, with many fans disappointed, so these new dates, to be announced soon, will allow more fans to see and enjoy the shows.'
Starring the queen of Motown, Diana Ross, and nominated for 5 Oscars, 'Lady Sings the Blues' is the classic film and soundtrack that followed the life and career of legendary jazz singer and songwriter Billie Holiday from late childhood to the latter stages of her career and included many of her famous songs. This live concert version, for the first time ever, will revisit this soundtrack as Alexandra and her band put their own spin on these jazz standards and the life and career of the one of the world’s most cherished performers.
If you've already purchased tickets for the shows, you're probably a bit pissed off, however, stay tuned for news of the rescheduled dates. Tickets bought for all Royal Albert Hall performances will remain valid for the new shows.
