Shirley Bassey has announced a new album.
The record, the title of which is yet to be revealed, is described as a "grand finale" dedicated to the legendary Welsh vocalist's fans and to the music.
With recording set to take place in London, Prague, Monaco and the South of France, the collection will include original material as well as tracks handpicked by the 83-year-old to reflect her seven decades in show business. She explained:
"My new album is a celebration of 70 years in showbiz. 70 years of support from my fans and 70 years of music! I've trodden the boards of many stages and kicked up many a diamante heel! The songs I have chosen all feel very personal and connected to my life. I hope they will do the same for my fans."
The news coincides with the announcement that Bassey has signed with Decca Records, who will release the record in November, although an official date is still to be confirmed. Her last studio LP, 'Hello Like Before', arrived via RCA in 2014.
