Sophie Ellis-Bextor, the iconic singer known for her timeless hits, has just made a major announcement that has fans buzzing with excitement. The 45-year-old pop star has revealed plans for a massive tour in 2025, set to be her biggest one yet. The tour will include a highly-anticipated show at London's prestigious Royal Albert Hall, and will span 15 cities across the UK.
Her tour will kick off in Glasgow on May 24, then make its way through Newcastle, Manchester, Cardiff, and Bristol, before concluding in London on June 12. This exciting news comes as no surprise to fans, as Sophie has had a successful career spanning 25 years, with five top 10 albums and eight top 10 singles under her belt.
Many fans will remember her major hits such as "Take Me Home," "Get Over You," "Heartbreak," and "Murder on the Dancefloor," which dominated the charts in 2023. But it was the use of her iconic song "Murder on the Dancefloor" in Emerald Fennell's hit film, Saltburn, that brought the bop back to life. The song reached over 11 billion global streams and made its way to number 2 on the UK Singles Chart and number 58 on the Billboard Top 100.
