Engelbert Humperdinck tour plans at age 90, Digi Mart USA News (Los Angeles): Schlager legend Engelbert Humperdinck is turning 90, yet travel and touring apparently remain no burden for him. Last week, on November 4, he sent a video message to his fans announcing that he was heading to Chicago on Sunday.
He pointed to upcoming short-notice dates, including a concert on November 10 in St. Charles, Illinois, and another the following day in Des Plaines, Illinois.
He also referenced a concert on November 13 in Battle Creek, Michigan.
Humperdinck’s plans extend well into the future. His website lists numerous additional tour dates, several of them in the coming months.
In July 2027 he is scheduled to perform in San Jose, California, as a make-up concert, and on October 30, 2027, he is set to appear in Las Vegas, when he will be 91.
Whether he will return to Germany remains open. Humperdinck has performed there recently: in August he appeared in Rhineland-Palatinate and visited Andrea Kiewel’s ZDF show “Fernsehgarten.” He still owes his fans in Bremen a concert, as his August 22, 2026, show at the Seebühne Bremen was canceled due to other commitments, and no make-up date has been confirmed.
The singer’s statement on the Seebühne Bremen website says his team is working to find a new date, possibly at the Metropol Theater, and that existing tickets remain valid with suitable seats reserved. He has promised further information once planning is complete.
Humperdinck told the Montreal Gazette, “That’s not my last tour.” He said he would “do it again next year,” adding, “It won’t be a Celebration Tour, but a double Celebration Tour.” He said he feels his voice is better than ever and that he stays fit, partly through exercises at home in the pool. “I don’t swim.
I can, but I only use the pool to train.”
Born in 1936 in India and initially active as Gerry Dorsey, Humperdinck became a global star in 1967 with “Release Me (And Let Me Love Again).” The song kept the Beatles from the top spot on the UK charts for six weeks and stayed on the charts for 56 weeks. With more than 140 million records sold, four Grammy nominations, a Golden Globe (1988) and a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, he is counted among the most successful singers of his era.
His album “Faithfully,” released in 2026, features rock classics from the 1980s and 1990s.
