SIMPLY Red take their classic album Stars on the road later this year in what will undoubtedly be one of the highlights of the year.

The first half of this special show will feature the entire Stars album in its original running order while the second half of the show will feature hits and classic Simply Red songs.

Stars was released on 30 September 1991 and was the best-selling UK album for two consecutive years, 1991 and 1992, a feat that hasn’t been repeated since.

It was their fourth album and the first to feature a collection of songs written entirely by Mick Hucknall for which he received an Ivor Novello award for Best Songwriter of the Year in 1991 in addition to a Brit Award for Best British Band that same year.

“After the huge success of A New Flame, I set myself the challenge of composing a whole album of original songs,” Mick Hucknall recalls.

“I could never have imagined that Stars would have the impact it did. It was a truly magical time. Now, looking on after 25 years, it seems only fitting to celebrate by performing the album in the original running order.”

25 years after its release, Stars remains one of modern music’s best and most successful albums. It made Mick Hucknall a superstar, turning Simply Red into one of the country’s biggest bands.

The band will be playing Birmingham's Genting Arena on November 20.
