Don’t miss: Johnny Clegg in London this weekend for his Final Journey tour
Johnny Clegg has been at the top of his game for 40 years and is currently on his final world tour, aptly titled Johnny Clegg: The Final Journey World Tour.
As part of this final World Tour, Johnny will be performing at the Eventim Apollo in Hammersmith, London on 18 and 19 August 2017.
The production is the largest ever for a live Clegg performance and features his greatest hits – from Juluka’s Universal Men first released in 1979 through his Savuka years as well as songs from his solo career. He’ll be supported by his live band.
Johnny Clegg was diagnosed with cancer in 2015 and underwent chemotherapy treatment. Throughout the treatment, he continued to tour locally and internationally undertaking a nine-week tour of USA and CANADA in 2016. Johnny is currently finishing a new album and his autobiography. As he is in remission, Johnny has decided to use this opportunity to perform a final set of concerts in SA and internationally to thank his fans for their support over the 35-year long journey that spans his career.
Clegg’s ability to illuminate the connectedness of all human beings through his music meant he was a pioneer of social cohesion in South Africa. He also provided a portal for international audiences to gain a deeper understanding of the anti-apartheid movement and the journey towards, and ultimately into, freedom. For this, Clegg has received many different honours including an OBE (Officer of the Order of the British Empire), the South African Order of Ikhamanga and the French Chevalier des Arts et Lettres (Knight of Arts and Letters), as well as several honorary doctorates.
Additional dates are set to be added later in the year for what promises to be the most powerfully emotional live shows of a truly singular South African – a dancer, anthropologist, singer, songwriter, academic, and activist like no other.
