Engelbert Humperdinck performs favorites and music from his new release "Engelbert Calling" at Mayo Performing Arts Center, Friday April 17 at 8 p.m. Tickets are $49 to $89.

Humperdinck's concert is in support of his album "Engelbert Calling." "Engelbert Calling" features duets with some of the world's most recognized names in music, including Elton John, Willie Nelson, Olivia Newton-John, Gene Simmons, and more.

"He is one of the sweetest and nicest people I have ever worked with," Elton John said about his experience collaborating with Engelbert. "We had a great time singing together and he is so quick, what I call a 'one-take singer,' 76 years old and still sounding as good as ever!"

More than 45 years after his massive hit "Release Me" reached number one on the pop charts, spending six full weeks at number one and 56 weeks in the Top 50 in a single chart run, Engelbert's newest album comes as a celebration of his career which has spanned nearly five decades.

Engelbert has sold more than 150 million albums world-wide, including 24 certified with platinum status and 63 with gold.
