American singer LeAnn Rimes has announced a one-off show in London which will be a “celebration” of almost 30 years in music.
Seven dates have initially been announced, kicking off in her hometown of Dallas, where she first recorded her vocals for her Grammy-winning debut single, Blue.
"Revisiting Blue and reflecting on the last 30 years of music has been the sweetest gift," shared Rimes.
Closing out her international The Story So… Far tour, the 43-year-old musician will perform at The O2 in London next spring, having last performed in the UK six years ago, The independent.ie reportas.
Speaking on her decades long music career, which started as a child, Rimes told the PA news agency: “It’s been almost, what, 30 years of music? It’s wild.
“I’ve lost count of how many records I’ve made by now.”
Discussing the tour, she added: “It’s fun to be able to have such a vast catalogue to pull from and to keep it interesting for people who come to see the show.
“It’s a celebration of 30 years of music, which is pretty insane to say seeing as I’m 41.”Rimes' groundbreaking debut, Blue, recorded when she was just 13, introduced one of the most distinctive voices of a generation.
She added: “When you enter in (to the music industry) so young people have this idea of you and who you are and kind of want to keep you that way.
“And people forget that you’re so young, and that you’re going to experiment and expand and try new things.
“For me, that was probably the most challenging part, was to kind of break out of the box of what everyone wanted me to be and really stay true to who I was and explore wherever my heart took me at the time.
“I think there’s a bit of a rebellion in that and I think that rebellion served me in that I never lost sight of what was important to me in as far as what I wanted to do and the music that I wanted to perform.
“It’s been interesting because a lot of people don’t last as long as I have.
Her single, All I Want for Christmas, featured on her newly released Greatest Hits Christmas collection, is climbing the charts, and her Greatest Hits Christmas Tour kicks off on 4 December.
