Following another successful UK tour in Autumn 2022, Leo Sayer has recently been on tour in the USA for the first time in decades; a country that took him to their hearts with two #1 Singles and a GRAMMY Award and although he now has Australian citizenship, Leo remains one of the UK's great singer/songwriters and performers of all time.
