14th August 2012, Singapore ? After sold-out concerts 2 years in a row, HITMAN David Foster is back in Singapore together with a new line up of iconic artists including 10-time Grammy award winners, Chaka Khan and Kenny ?Babyface? Edmonds, along with timeless favourite Paul Young.
?
David Foster together with his group of acclaimed Friends will be the first major international artists to take the main stage at The Star Performing Arts Centre (The Star PAC), featuring a state-of-the-art 5,000 seating concert venue. The Star PAC will officially open on 1 November 2012 with a Red Carpet and Gala Dinner event with invited guests. On 2nd and 3rd November, HITMAN David Foster and Friends will perform at this new and much anticipated addition to Singapore?s venue offerings. Foster will no doubt entertain the crowd with his renowned mix of outstanding music, warmth, charm and non-stop hits.
?
?After years of planning and construction, it is a dream come true to see The Star PAC coming to fruition as the latest venue in Singapore. To have David Foster perform at our Opening Celebrations sets the standard of international quality entertainment that we look forward to hosting on a regular basis. We are honoured to work with such a musical icon and are eagerly anticipating the opening of The Star PAC,? states Jack Ho, Chief Operating Officer of The Star PAC.
?
Singapore will be the first city on this year?s Asian tour for the man behind classic hits like ?The Prayer? and Chicago?s ?You?re The Inspiration?. The concert tour, which has garnered rave reviews over the last 3 years, showcases Foster?s musical talent and performances from international artists of all genres. The maestro that has been praised by the likes of Michael Bubl?, saying he is ?one of the most brilliant musical minds of our time?, will bring forth his larger-than-life personality and share his many decades of music making to guarantee a superb night of entertainment.
Highlights include:
- Superstar Kenny ?Babyface? Edmonds, a 10-time Grammy award winner and iconic pop legend, singer, producer and writer with hits like ?When Can I See You Again?, ?Everytime I Close My Eyes?, ?For The Cool In You?, ?Never Keeping Secrets?, ?Whip Appeal? and his duet with Eric Clapton ?Change The World?. The man, who has worked with numerous artists like Michael Jackson, Pink and more recently, Beyonce ? co-writing her latest single ?Best Thing I Never Had? ? is said to be working on his new solo album in the studios.
- Rock out with Chaka Khan with her spectacular stage presence and powerful vocals. Chaka has been a huge influence on generations of music artists ever since she burst into the scene in the 1970s. Her slew of hit singles like ?Tell Me Something Good?, ?Everlasting Love? and ?Ain?t Nobody? has earned her an impressive 10 Grammy Awards throughout her musical career.
- For classical-crossover lovers, be enchanted by New Zealander Hayley Westenra?s uplifting voice. The young vocal prodigy debuted on the music scene in 2003 at the tender age of 15 when she released her first album Pure, inspiring a renewed love for ageless classics like ?River of Dreams? and ?Wuthering Heights?. Westenra has since grown and matured in leaps and bounds, having worked with legendary film composer Ennio Morricone and his orchestra in Rome on her latest album Paradiso, which was released last year.
- Representing the best of British soul and rock, Paul Young joins the stellar lineup of Friends in this year?s concerts. Paul?s first solo album in 1983 included the infinitely memorable number one singles ?Wherever I Lay My Hat? and ?Come Back and Stay?. His second album ?The Secret of Association? in 1987 and the hit ?Every Time You Go Away? confirmed Paul?s superstar status and solidified his position as a timeless favourite who continues to enthral audiences worldwide.
?
The fun does not end with the HITMAN concerts, as The Star PAC will be opening its doors for a Family Day with Nickelodeon as a Major Family Day Partner presenting everyone with a jam-packed program filled with fun carnival attractions and performers for all the family to enjoy.
