It was a packed Royal Concert Hall last night who welcomed a frail looking Michael Bolton back to the stage after the cancellation of several shows on this his Love Songs tour through ill health.
His long curly blond hair may be a thing of the past for Michael Bolton, but his husky unmistakable voice which elevated him to international stardom is still as unique and hypnotic as ever, as a packed Royal Concert Hall will testify to last night.
Does Michael Bolton really need an introduction? He was without a doubt one of the most iconic, powerhouse voices of the 90s, with his distinctive vocals providing the soundtrack to a infinite number of romantic interludes and moments of melancholy and heartache.
This genre became popular thanks to several successful artists – Chicago Hall & Oates Meat Loaf and Toto among others – but arguably it is Michael Bolton that has pushed the genre to its climax.
