Billy Ocean announces 2017 dates

Billy Ocean is celebrating after the release of his latest album 'Here You Are: The Best Of Billy Ocean' soared to number 4, becoming his highest charting album since 1989. The 'Caribbean Queen' star is Britain's biggest selling black artist of all time, with a string of multiplatinum hits. Currently on an international tour, Billy Ocean has announced a huge run of UK headline dates for 2017 where he will be performing all of his greatest hits from the new album and favourite tracks.

The 2CD set features a personal collection of Billy's interpretations of songs which helped the young Leslie Charles become the Billy Ocean we all know today, alongside a career spanning celebration of his biggest hits.

Billy said: "I'm humbled by the success of this album am grateful that people continue to find joy in my music. I have so many people to thank, but I owe this one to my fans."
