Il Divo

Multi-platinum group IL DIVO announces their XX: 20th Anniversary Tour, in support of their recently announced forthcoming “XX:  20^TH ANNIVERSARY ALBUM.” The tour includes a stop at San Jose Civic, Tuesday, July 9. Tickets for the San Jose Civic date are available via Ticketmaster, Friday, February 9, coinciding with the date that the album will be available for fans worldwide.

The debut single from the album, "Crazy" dropped in November, and the album can be pre-ordered now HERE. The first-ever vinyl edition of their career, with commemorative and collectable packages of “XX:  20^TH ANNIVERSARY ALBUM,” will also be available at www.ildivo.com. 

The iconic quartet—Urs Bühler (tenor) of Switzerland, Sébastien Izambard (tenor) of France, David Miller (tenor) of America, and new member Steven LaBrie (baritone) of America—uphold the spirit of their signature sound while expanding its scope on their 10th full-length and very first independent album on Il Divo Music/Thirty Tigers.

Produced by Grammy® and Latin Grammy® Award-winning artist Carlos Fernando Lopez (Ricky Martin, Laura Pausini, Marc Anthony), “XX:  20^TH ANNIVERSARY ALBUM,” includes songs sung by IL DIVO in English, Spanish and Italian; and an original composition written by the group, “Despertar Sin Ti.”  In addition to the IL DIVO spin on Gnarls Barkley’s “Crazy,” the album will also include Whitney Houston’s “I Have Nothing,” with a Spanish version, “No Tengo Nada,”; Miguel Gallardo’s “Hoy Tengo Ganas De Ti,”;  Brenda Lee and Elvis Presley’s “Always On My Mind,” sung in English and Italian; Ed Sheeran’s smash hit “Perfect”;  “Despacito,” the mega-smash by Luis Fonsi, Daddy Yankee, and Justin Bieber, and more.

“When you listen to ‘XX,’ we hope it takes you on a journey between modern music and opera,” says Sébastien. “We’ve kept our voices intact, but our singing has evolved. It covers a wide emotional spectrum and shows our growth. We’re not complacent; we’re really stepping into the moment.”

Adds Urs, “Whether you’ve been with us for 20 years, 10 years, five years, or a few hours, we want you to be moved by the music.” He continues, “This is an album that has the right to stand next to everything else we’ve done. After all of this time, we haven’t lost any of our love, passion, depth, strength, or power. Instead, we put as much blood, sweat, and tears into it as possible—maybe more.”
