Fans of the British crooner can expect to hear a repertoire of his greatest hits including Release Me, The Last Waltz and A Man Without Love at the concert
Legendary superstar, Engelbert Humperdinck, who shot to fame with his 1967 hit single, Release Me is set to return to Resorts World Genting’s (RWG) Arena of Stars with his concert, Falling in love with Engelbert Humperdinck on 13 August 2022. The prestigious Arena of Stars, which has in the past accommodated international acts like Elton John and Il Divo has regularly hosted the crowned King of Romance on many of his concert tours.
Humperdinck burst into the music scene in the 1960s with the likes of The Beatles and Elvis Presley with his hit song, Please Release Me in 1967. The song enjoyed unprecedented popularity, rocketing off the UK charts and staying a record 56 weeks on the UK Top 50 Singles chart. It was No.1 in 11 countries; cementing Humperdinck’s reputation as a superstar.
Following the success of Please Release Me, Humperdinck went on to record more songs and a series of albums that have since become ballad staples and timeless classics including Am I That Easy To Forget, Quando Quando Quando, A Man Without Love and When There’s No You. He also starred in his own musical variety production, The Engelbert Humperdinck Show broadcasted in the UK and the US with special appearances by Liberace, Shirley Bassey, Tony Bennet, Ray Charles, Dusty Springfield, Paul Anka, Tom Jones and Dionne Warwick.
From the mid-1970s through the 1990s, Humperdinck established himself as a musical touring force, focusing on lavish live performances of up to 200 concerts a year with headlining appearances in Las Vegas. He continued his career with musical collaborations in the new millennium, recording the critically-acclaimed roots gospel album Always Hear The Harmony in 2004 and a double-CD duets album, Engelbert Calling in 2014 featuring music by Elton John, Willie Nelson, Johnny Matthis, Cliff Richard, Kenny Rogers, Gene Simmons and Smokey Robinson.
In a span of 55 years, Humperdinck generated sales in excess of 140 million records, including 64 gold albums and 35 platinum, four Grammy nominations, a Golden Globe, and stars on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, Las Vegas Walk of Fame, and Leicester Walk of Fame.
He has also managed to strike a new chord with the younger generation, appearing on MTV several times. His hit song, A Man Without Love was recently featured in Marvel’s “Moon Knight” Disney+ Series, with his music & social media charts breaking all records. Sony Pictures’ new Brad Pitt film, “Bullet Train” also features his song, Forever Blowing Bubbles.
Humperdinck was recently awarded the Honor of Member of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire (MBE) on Her Majesty the Queen’s Birthday Honours List presented by Her Royal Highness Princess Anne. He has performed for the Queen four times, several presidents and many heads of state.
