Having first met 10 years ago, performing together in 'Kismet' at the London Coliseum, Michael and Alfie became lifelong friends. That same year,
Michael Ball made history as the first musical theatre star to be given a solo concert at the Royal
Albert Hall's BBC Proms, and asked
Alfie Boe to join him to perform at the classical music festival.
This instant personal connection and professional mutual admiration makes for the perfect pairing and, to the delight of their hundreds of thousands of fans across the globe, has been finally realised with the Decca-released 'Together' to spectacular success. The album has gone Platinum in just 6 weeks and is on track to become the biggest selling domestic release of 2016!
Michael and Alfie say, 'There are simply no words for how incredible this is for us. We have always wanted to work together, it was just a case of getting the timing right. We are so grateful to all our fans who have supported us and everyone involved for believing in us. We are literally having the best time and are so happy with the success of the album and the tour.
The two critically-acclaimed artists have received a plethora of prestigious awards, recordbreaking sales and chart successes. Over his extraordinary 30 year career, Michael's outstanding performances have made smash-hit box office history. He is a double Olivier Award winner, multi-platinum recording artist, top selling live concert performer and a hugely popular radio and TV presenter. Alfie's exceptional voice has made him Britain's most popular and biggest-selling tenor He has conquered the world's greatest opera stages and arenas, led the cast of LES MISERABLES, stole the show at the Queen's Diamond Jubilee Concert at Buckingham Palace- as well achieving UK album sales of over a million, and four top ten albums.
