The English-Australian singer/songwriter first rose to fame in the early 1970s with hits such as The Show Must Go On, One Man Band, Long Tall Glasses, Thunder in My Heart, I Can't Stop Loving You, You Make Me Feel Like Dancing, When I Need You and more.

Leo began his music career co-writing songs with David Courtney, including Giving It All Away, which gave Roger Daltrey of The Who his first solo hit in 1973.

His first seven hit singles in the United Kingdom all reached the Top 10 – a feat first registered by his first manager, Adam Faith.

His songs have been sung by other notable artists, including Cliff Richard who covered Dreamin' in 1980.

Leo Sayer will play Birmingham Town Hall on June 1.
