Unfortunately, on Doctors advice and due to ill health, George Benson’s UK tour has had to be cancelled.
It’s the end of a lifetime of bringing the unique music of GEORGE BENSON internationally.
With a heavy heart, GEORGE has taken the advice of his doctors to stop touring internationally.
The strain of long distance travel has now been deemed too much for GEORGE. We are desperately sorry to disappoint all of his fans, but he has to take the advice given.
The box office will be contacting ticketholders with refunds as soon as possible.

Nobody has more succinctly described George Benson's musical evolution than the guitarist himself did in his 2014 autobiography: "...from blues cat to blues-jazz cat...from blues-jazz cat to jazz cat...from jazz cat to soul-jazz cat...and from soul-jazz cat to R&B-jazz cat."
“I can’t wait to return to the UK and share my music with my incredible fans. See you all soon!” - George Benson
