The Legendary “King of Romance” Gears Up for New Cleopatra Records Album Release on August 28 Before Bringing “The Celebration Tour 2026” to the New Frontier Theater on September 25
Philippine –The iconic crooner and “King of Romance” Engelbert Humperdinck continues to defy time. With a career spanning over six decades and more than 150 million records sold worldwide, Humperdinck is balancing major new music releases with an ambitious global schedule—now featuring a highly anticipated stop in Philippine.
The centrepiece of his milestone year is the global release of his new studio album, Faithfully, dropping August 28, 2026, via Cleopatra Records. Led by the lead single “Drive”, the 15-track album showcases reimagined pop and rock classics alongside a new original track, “Always My Love.”
The 15-track release is elevated by an extraordinary line-up of guests including Journey’s Jonathan Cain, legendary keyboardist Rick Wakeman (Yes, David Bowie), Grammy Award winning guitarist Al Di Meola, Canned Heat’s Harvey Mandel, Jethro Tull frontman Ian Anderson, and acclaimed guitarist Eric Gales. Rich, full orchestral and string arrangements underscore the album’s sweeping production, blending classic sophistication with modern rock energy.
“I am so grateful to my good friends Brian Perera and Tim Yasui at Cleopatra Records for coming up with the fantastic idea for this album and the music videos we created for it,” said Engelbert Humperdinck. “I am also truly honored by all of the incredible, renowned musicians who joined me on these tracks. I’ve always loved coming to Asia—the energy and warmth of the audiences are truly special, and I’m thrilled to bring these songs and classics to my fans this September.”
In support of the album, fresh off completing nine shows across Australia and New Zealand in just 19 days, Humperdinck shows no signs of slowing down. He will embark on a global tour, bringing his signature voice and renewed repertoire to audiences across North America, Europe, and Asia.
