"MR. BIG Announces March/April 2024 European Farewell Tour
MR. BIG is putting on its signature top hats and old shoes one last time for a worldwide tour, aptly titled "The BIG Finish". Since the band's original drummer and co-founder, Pat Torpey, lost his battle with Parkinson's disease in 2018, MR. BIG now feels it's time to mark the end of this chapter of the group's legacy.
Following MR. BIG's run in Japan and Southeast Asia over the summer, the band brings "The BIG Finish" to Europe next March and April that will see a set spanning their career, including a performance of their classic breakthrough album "Lean Into It" in full." - https://blabbermouth.net/news/mr-big-announces-march-april-2024-european-farewell-tour
"THE BIG DESTINATION TOUR 2024
“I am the one who wants to be with you”!
Anyone can probably sing along to this line of lyrics from the global hit “To Be With You”. The accompanying album LEAN INTO IT received a total of 5x gold and 3x platinum and is considered a later milestone for AOR.
With Mr. Big it wasn't and isn't just the excellent songs, because in addition to “To Be With You”, everyone also knows “Alive & Kickin'”, “Daddy, Brother, Lover, Little Boy” and “Green Tinted Sixties Mind”. “. “, but also the almost extraterrestrially good musical performances of the individual musicians. Bassist Billy Sheehan and guitarist Paul Gilbert are true luminaries on their instruments, and drummer Pat Torpey was too until his untimely death. Eric Martin's unmistakable grating voice towers over it.
Luckily the band found an equivalent replacement for Pat Torpey. Nick D’Virgilio will take over the position. He became known in the scene through his brilliant work on Spock's Beard. His advantage: Not only can he drum, but he sings just as well as Pat Torpey, which can be an advantage if you know the band's songs.
In the spring, Mr. Big will come to Germany for the very last time. And of course the four men don't miss it and play LEAN INTO IT in full length and beautifully. It is therefore advisable to take care of tickets in good time.
“We are very happy to be coming back to Germany. We will be playing the entire LEAN INTO IT album and much more! I look forward to seeing you all!!!”" - https://trinitymusic.de/events/berlin/mr-big
