Mr. BIG have announced their farewell UK tour.
Billed as The Big Finish, the Los Angeles rockers will play shows at Nottingham's Rock City, O2 Ritz in Manchester, KK's Steel Mill in Wolverhampton and London's O2 Shepherd's Bush Empire in mid-March. Tickets go on sale at 9am on September 8.
The band's original drummer and co-founder Pat Torpey passed away in 2018 following his battle with Parkinson’s disease, and the remaining members feel now is the time to bring things to an official end. Lead vocalist Eric Martin said:
“If we were in the movie business, we’d just put it all up in lights and say, ‘Welcome to The BIG Finish!’ Seriously, I’m glad we’re getting a chance to do it all onstage together as MR. BIG again and raise a flag to everything we’ve done as a band over the years.”
The gigs will see them play their breakthrough album, 1991's 'Lean Into It', in full, as well as tracks from their four-decade-strong back catalogue. Filling in for Torpey on drums will be the band's longtime friend Nick D’Virgilio.
