Over the years, the name Stevie Wonder has become synonymous with musical greatness. Since beginning his musical career in 1961, The 57 year old R&B, soul and pop Motown musician, has truly grown into a living legend. To date, Wonder has received twenty-five Grammy Awards, had more than thirty top ten hits and has had four of his albums make it to Rolling Stone’s list of The 500 Greatest Albums of All Time. In addition, in 1989, Wonder was awarded with the ultimate honor, as he was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

Stevie Wonder was born in 1950 in Saginaw, Michigan. Born prematurely, Wonder was put into an incubator as a baby and after an over-exposure to oxygen, became permanently blind. However, Wonder’s blindness did not prevent him from living life to the fullest and instead, soon became his trademark, rather than his disability.

By the tender age of thirteen, Wonder already had his first major hit: Motown Records’ Fingertips part two. The song was a breakthrough for the young musician and its success contributed to what would soon become one of the most significant, successful and influential careers in pop music history. Wonder followed Fingertips part two with a slew of other hits in the 1960’s, including Uptight (Everything’s Alright), With a Child’s Heart and Blowin’ in the Wind.

The 70’s and 80’s were the years when Wonder’s music took him from superstar to legend. This important time period saw Wonder releasing his biggest albums, which included Music of My Mind, Innervisions, Songs in the Key of Life, Hotter than July and Stevie Wonder’s Original Musiquarium. The albums and others which followed, were instant classics and provided a compendium of hit singles. These included Signed, Sealed, Delivered I’m Yours, Superstition, You are the Sunshine of My Life, I Wish, Sir Duke, Happy Birthday, Ebony and Ivory, Ribbon In the Sky, I just Called to Say I love You and Part-Time Lover.

After being recognized as one of the most important artists and icons of our time, Wonder continues to tour the world and make new music. Recently, Wonder announced plans for a brief summer tour, with dates in June and July. The tour is scheduled to see Wonder performing in New York, Wisconsin, Illinois and British Columbia.

Rockers Bon Jovi on Thursday announced a world tour of almost two years to promote their 11th studio album “The Circle”.

The band have not revealed the length of their run, but it is expected to rival the 21-date string of shows which Prince played in 2007.

AEG Live promoter Rob Hallett said: “Bon Jovi are the best live band in the world. This one could run and run.”

The Grammy-award winning band, one of the top five touring acts worldwide in 2008, will perform 135 shows in 30 countries starting in Seattle in February

2010.

The tour includes a “residency” in June 2010 at the O2 arena in London, following a trend blazed by Prince who played 21 nights at the O2 in 2007 and the

planned run of 50 concerts by Michael Jackson before his sudden death in June. Bon Jovi is expected to play at least five dates in London.

The band, led by Jon Bon Jovi, have sold 120 million albums around the world and performed more than 2,600 concerts.

Michael Jackson had been due to play a record-breaking run of 50 dates at the south east London venue, starting this summer, but died just days before the

shows were due to begin.

Other acts have since announced concerts there, including a planned Christmas gig by Sir Paul McCartney, but Bon Jovi are the first to secure a residency.

The O2 gigs will be their only European dates of 2010.

Bon Jovi Tickets for the tour go on sale on Nov 9.
