Fish has confirmed plans to play ‘Misplaced Childhood’ in full at a series of UK shows this winter before releasing his final album next year.
The former Marillion frontman will run through the band’s 1985 record to celebrate its 30th anniversary, with festival dates at Cropredy and Midstock set to be followed by stops in Bristol, London, Cambridge, Birmingham, Sheffield, Manchester and Glasgow. He said:
Discussing the tour and his retirement from music, Fish said:
“I started to consider my future and I came to the decision it was time for a major change in my life. A plan was required that fulfilled all my needs and desires and gave me an exit strategy where I could have fun and give the fans of my music a celebration rather than a wake.
“The first part of the plan begins this year with my last performances of the 1985 album ‘Misplaced Childhood’ that catapulted Marillion and me to fame. It holds a lot of memories from a period that was very exciting and crammed with experiences both dark and magical. The lyrics on that album hold a very special meaning to me as they were written by a young man on the cusp of fame and dealt with a lot of personal issues. It was not only a breakthrough album for the band but also for me as an artist because I was finally discovering my own individual style as a lyricist and singer. To be performing it on its 30th anniversary has a lovely resonance.”
