Jeff Beck, Paul Rodgers, Heart's Ann Wilson Announce North American Tour
Jeff Beck, Paul Rodgers and Heart's Ann Wilson have announced the Stars Align North American tour.
The summer trek will take the trio across the United States, with an added stop in Toronto. Tickets for the tour will go on sale to the general public on February 2 at 10 a.m through livenation.com.
"I always enjoy touring the U.S. in the summer and joining with Paul, and Ann Wilson, should make for quite an exciting night,” Beck said in a statement. “This is going to be a knock out combination of music and musicians,” Rodgers added. “I've always been a Jeff Beck fan, who isn't? He is in a league of his own. Ann Wilson has an amazing voice and is a brilliant songwriter. 2018 marks the 50th Anniversary of 'Free' and I hope we can touch your spirit with the 'Spirit of Free.’”
“I am thrilled to have been asked to perform on the Stars Align Tour with Jeff Beck and Paul Rodgers,” Wilson said. “They are both long time favorites of mine! They are masters at their craft and it is an honor to share the stage this summer.”
