BILLY Ocean is the first name to be announced for the Concert of Legends which returns for its second year in September.

The Love Really Hurts Without You singer will perform on the stage at Worcestershire County Cricket Club when the Concert of Legends returns on Saturday, September 9.

SC Entertainments and Worcestershire County Cricket Club said they were proud to be returning after a hugely successful first year.

They promise an even bigger line-up of stars after UB40 headlined the 2016 concert which also featured LuLu and Heather Small of M People.

The first to be announced is worldwide superstar Billy Ocean.

Billy Ocean has sold over 30 million records in his lifetime.

He has collected a pile of Gold and Platinum records across the world and hit the number one spot worldwide on pop charts including the USA, Australia, Germany, Holland, and the UK.

Billy has achieved extraordinary success as both an artist and a songwriter. Born in Trinidad, Billy settled in London’s East End when he was just seven years old.

Billy got his first break when he signed to GTO records, for whom his second single was the Motown-ish Love Really Hurts Without You, which reached number two in the UK charts and number 12 in the US.

Two top twenty singles followed - Love on Delivery and Stop Me, then Red Light Spells Danger became a smash in both the UK and the US.

Billy changed record labels and his move to Jive Records provided instant success, with the million selling American number one single Caribbean Queen for which Billy won a Grammy for best R&B Vocal.

His other hits include Loverboy, Suddenly and the now classic Get Outta My Dreams; Get Into My Car.

Tickets for the 2017 instalment of the Concert Of Legends go on sale at 9am tomorrow (Tuesday, February 28).

Early Bird tickets are on sale at £35 plus booking fee for a very limited time. For more information visit wccc.co.uk.
