HE is a member of one of Britain’s most iconic rock bands who in April will be inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.

Moody Blues star Justin Hayward is setting off on a solo tour of the UK over May and June, stopping off at Eastleigh’s Concorde Club on May 31.

The super group have sold 70 million albums worldwide, including that timeless hit Go Now.

Singer-songwriter Justin has been the driving force behind The Moody Blues and penned classics like Nights in White Satin, New Horizons, Question, The Voice and Your Wildest Dreams.

His solo career began in 1977 with Songwriter and the following year he had a worldwide hit with the timeless Forever Autumn from the War of the Worlds.

In 1980 Justin released his second solo album Night Flight, a mixture of his own songs and those of other writers. His last solo studio album was the critically acclaimed All The Way in 2017.

The possessor of one of the most recognisable voices in rock, Justin will be showcasing solo hits as well as a collection of his songs with the Moody Blues.

He says: “I’m always so thrilled to have the opportunity to tour in the UK, particularly at this time in my career when no one knows what the future holds.

“I’m bringing my song writing guitars from home on the road with me, so the gigs will have the feel and sound of my music room along with the vibe I was feeling as I wrote the songs.

“I look forward to singing and playing new songs and old songs, particularly Forever Autumn, which I only get to perform in my solo show and also to tell the real stories behind all the songs and the events that surrounded them at the time.

“It’s a joy to share a stage with such wonderful young and inspiring talents as Mike Dawes -one of a new generation of brilliant young guitar masters – and Julie Ragins, a truly exceptional musician and singer.

“She and I have shared stages all over the world for many years, loving the music we play, both with the Moody Blues and solo.”
