Bryan Ferry to tour SA in 2019
Widely regarded as the embodiment of the glamorous and romantic worlds evoked by his songs, Ferry is also lauded as an icon of sartorial and personal cool. A former student of fine art, and as involved in the visual aspects of his work as he is in the composition and performance of the music, he has conceived and directed some of the most original, controversial, and critically applauded album sleeve artwork of the last four decades.

Ferry came to prominence as the lead vocalist and songwriter with the glam art rock band Roxy Music achieving three number one albums and 10 singles which reached the top 10 in the UK between 1972 and 1982. Their singles included Virginia Plain, Street Life, Love is the Drug, Dance Away, Angel Eyes, Over You, Oh Yeah, Jealous Guy, Avalon, and More Than This.
Ferry began his solo career in 1973. His solo hits included A Hard Rain’s a-Gonna Fall, Lets Stick Together, and This Is Tomorrow. His best-selling album Avalon (1982) saw the release of singles such as Slave to Love and Don’t Stop the Dance followed by the UK number one album Boys and Girls in 1985. When his sales as a solo artist and as a member of Roxy Music are combined, he has sold over 30 million albums worldwide.
As an artist and musician, Ferry possesses the rare distinction of being regarded as both classic and timelessly contemporary – an accomplishment achieved by both his recordings with Roxy Music and the range and intensity of his solo albums.
