| Performance Notes | Following his sell-out show at the venue last year last year, legendary singer-songwriter Charles Aznavour returns once more to become the oldest artist to ever headline the Royal Albert Hall.
The French chanson star is considered to be one of the greatest singer-songwriters of all time and enjoyed major success in the UK with his No.1 single She, which featured in the blockbuster film Notting Hill. He has had further hits with The Old Fashioned Way and Yesterday When I Was Young.
My first concert in London was at the Albert Hall in 1966! Since then it has always been a great pleasure to perform in London, and to come back on November 3rd and meet all my fans again, is going to be a real joy (Charles Aznavour)
Named the worlds greatest entertainer in a CNN poll, his songs have influenced some of the most successful artists of all time; Elton John, Sammy Davis Jr, Fred Astaire and Celine Dion are just a few names to have recorded his beloved songs. Aznavour will be presenting his greatest hits taken from a staggering collection of 294 albums.
VIP Expereince Package tickets were available for £288 per person.
Aznavour performed a duet with his daughter Katia.
Guests in attendance included Raymond Blanc (chef).
"If this is your entree into the thousand-plus chansons Aznavour has composed, you''re in for a treat. After nonchalantly singing 'The Old Fashioned Way', he returns for 'What Makes a Man a Man', arguably the first song about homosexuality by a non-homosexual. Its message of acceptance is magnified by the bouquet of flowers he carries on the shoulder like a gun as he wanders off stage, an impish smile on his face, He promises to be back when he is 100. Don't bet against it! Chapeau Monsieur Aznavour!"
