Justin Hayward says, “I always enjoy touring the UK. When I was in a local group in Swindon, we were offered a tour of the North of England and Scotland and I thought, ‘This is it – this is living”. British music – and British music fans – have a special place in the world of music, and I’m privileged that my songs are a part of that. The same goes for ‘Forever Autumn’. Wherever I go in the world people seem to know the song and associate it with my voice. It feels right to acknowledge ‘Forever Autumn’ this autumn.

Mike, Julie, Karmen and myself are always trying to do something original and fresh, and thanks to guitar tech Josh , who has learnt exactly how to play my own acoustic parts on many songs, it means my beloved Gibson 335 electric guitar will be playing a bigger part in the show this year. Sharing songs that I have written, new and old, and playing many of them live for the first time on our ‘Forever Autumn’ 2025 tour will be a joy.”

Justin Hayward OBE has enjoyed a career which is now in its fifth decade. The vocalist, lead guitarist and composer for the iconic Moody Blues, had hits including the masterful ‘Nights in White Satin’, ‘Tuesday Afternoon’, ‘Question’, ‘The Voice’ and the US top 40 hits ‘I Know You’re Out there Somewhere’ and In Your Wildest Dreams’: plus other classic, era and genre-defining hits. These laid the foundation for the incredible success story of the Moody Blues – as well as solo work.
