“Here Come the Girls” is a new show that features three international singing superstar legends; Lulu, Chaka Khan and Anastacia. Add glitz, glamour, half naked men and non-stop hits and what do you get? A foot stomping, high octane, tongue-in-cheek, musical extravaganza that will guarantee you’ll be dancing down the aisles. Cocktails in hand, music blaring and conversation flowing, the show will see the girls sing and dance to their favourite songs from the 60’s right the way through to the noughties. With hits including “Shout”, “Respect”, “Lady Marmalade”, “It’s Raining Men” and “Bootylicious” its the ultimate, fantabulous Girls Night Out!

 

Lulu says:

 

'I am so proud of our Here Come the Girls Tour. Putting it together has been exciting and I am thrilled that these great voices, and now my great friends, Chaka Khan and Anastacia, are sharing the experience with me. The Show is a celebration of us women - a little mischief and a lot of fun, set to real get-up-and-dance music. Talk about woman power!!!"

Chaka Khan says:

 

"The idea for this show caught my imagination the moment Lulu mentioned it to me. Together with Anastacia, we have now built a show that we ourselves would be excited to go and see. For me, Here Come The Girls is about great music being shared among great friends, all having a little too much fun in a fabulous atmosphere...!"

 

Anastacia says:

 

“I'm super excited to be part of Here Come the Girls. It’s going to be such a fun show with tons of surprises and fabulous music. I’ve long been an admirer of both Lulu and Chaka Khan so its a dream come true to be touring with them and to be part of a show as unique and special as this.

Chaka Khan and Anastacia to roll back the decades with festive supergroup

 

By Matt Sandy

Last updated at 10:28 PM on 12th September 2009

 

They have been household names for longer than they care to remember – three women whose careers have helped to define popular music.

 

And now singers Lulu, Chaka Khan and Anastacia – combined age 156 – have joined forces to form a ‘supergroup’, with a series of concerts across the UK this Christmas.

 

Organisers claim the venture, Here Come The Girls, will be a ‘footstomping, high octane, tongue-in-cheek musical extravaganza that will have everyone dancing in the aisles’ despite the performers’ advanced years.

 

Girls night out: The divas will perform a range of music from the past four decades

 

The concert series is the brainchild of Steven Howard, the producer behind the successful Viva La Diva stage show featuring ballerina Darcey Bussell and opera singer Katherine Jenkins.

 

He said the show would ‘see the the girls sing and dance to their favourite songs from the Sixties right through to the Noughties’.

 

Together, the trio certainly span pop’s decades. Lulu Kennedy-Cairns OBE, 60, first emerged with the single Shout in 1964.

 

US singer/songwriter Chaka Khan, 56, is best remembered for her 1978 hit I’m Every Woman, while American modern-day diva Anastacia – at 40 she is the baby of the trio – released her fourth studio album last year.

 

Songs being considered include Lulu’s Shout, Respect by Aretha Franklin and It’s Raining Men by the Weather Girls. Other possibilities are Lady Marmalade by Labelle and Bootylicious by Destiny’s Child.

 

Mr Howard said: ‘We have glitz, glamour, half-naked men and non-stop hits and are hoping it will be the must-see Christmas show of 2009. It will be centred on the three superstars, each with their own unique sense of style and humour.

 

The show will see the girls sing and dance to their favourite songs through the decades. It should appeal to fans of Sex In The City and Mamma Mia! It will be all about big hair, big heels and big voices.’

 

He added: ‘A show like this was something Lulu always wanted to do and we worked the idea up after we met a couple of years ago. Chaka Khan and Anastacia were her dream artists.

 

They are all quite similar vocally and it was not hard to persuade them. They all wanted to do something different.’

 

The first show is in Edinburgh on November 21 and the trio will then tour the UK, including London, Cardiff, Manchester and Birmingham, before ending on December 21.

 

All the concerts will be held in intimate theatre-style venues, such as London’s Hammersmith Apollo, which hosts a gig on December 2.

''Anastacia Forced To Cancel European Tour

 

Anastacia has sadly been diagnosed with breast cancer for the second time after having successfully survived her 2003 battle with the disease. Consequently she has been forced to cancel all performances, tours and any travel from now until further notice. Anastacia was excited about her forthcoming European tour which was due to start April 6th in London. "I feel so awful to be letting down all my amazing fans who were looking forward to 'It's A Man's World Tour'. It just breaks my heart to disappoint them" she said.

 

Anastacia will continue the writing and recording of her new album despite her diagnosis and hopes to schedule a new tour as soon as possible. Now more then ever, she is determined to live by her motto “Don't ever let cancer get the 'Best of You!'” A born survivor, Anastacia has one goal and that is to make a full recovery with the support of her family, friends and everyone around her.

 

Please respect her need for privacy during such a trying time.

 

All tickets for the tour can be refunded from the point of purchase.''

 

I wish her best!

Hey people! I bet you heard Anastacia's new single "stupid little things". I'm so happy that she's back on track after her second cancer! I think his new album could be her great return to European charts. The sound seems strong enough th echo the success of the album Anastacia back in 2005. Plus, the MV is cool. Maybe one of her best produced ones, especially when we know that Anastacia MV mostly consist in stage simulation segments What do you think?!

[Frozen_Phoenix]

Did you listen to the new album? It is fantastic, I really really love it.
