Jennifer Rush to tour southern Africa
International singing superstar and 80s' icon Jennifer Rush is set to tour southern Africa over October and November 2015 with a series of concerts across South Africa, Namibia and Zimbabwe.
The tour ties in with the 30th anniversary of her mega hit The Power Of Love, which is listed in the Guinness Book of Records as the best-selling single by a female solo artist in the history of British pop.
The run of intimate shows will be spread across eight cities: Pretoria, Cape Town, Port Elizabeth, East London, Durban, Bloemfontein, Harare and Windhoek, and will feature an all-South African band, which will add a fresh 21st-century twist to her 80s' songs as well as some of the more recent material.
During her career, Rush has sold over 50 million albums and has collaborated with other international mega stars including Elton John, Michael Bolton, Jose Carreras and Placido Domingo. Her other familiar hits include Ring Of Ice, Madonna's Eyes, and Destiny.
