It has been announced that Queen of Soul Beverley Knight will release a 8th studio album in spring 2016 on East West Records followed by a solo tour.
2015 marks 20 years since the star's debut album The B- Funk was released. Knight's new tour will feature her biggest hits from over the years and material from her forthcoming album as well as numbers from the West End shows she has starred in.
Knight will bring her tour to the London Palladium on 25th May. She will also visit: Ipswich, Southend, Bournemouth, Manchester, Liverpool, Edinburgh, Sheffield, Birmingham, York, Gateshead, Bristol and Brighton.
In 2013 Knight made her West End debut as Rachel Marron in The Bodyguard (Adelphi) to tremendous acclaim. The following year she originated the role of Felicia Farrell in the West End production of Memphis The Musical (Shaftesbury) and received an Olivier Award nomination for her performance. Knight is currently playing Grizabella in the West End revival of Andrew Lloyd Webber's Cats at the London Palladium.
