Introduction
Posted August 14, 2025
In what is already being hailed as one of the most extraordinary announcements in music history, three legendary performers — Sir Tom Jones, Engelbert Humperdinck, and Cher — have confirmed they will join forces for the 2026 world tour titled One Last Ride. The tour, spanning three continents, will celebrate not just their individual legacies but also the timeless golden era of popular music that shaped generations.
Music critics are calling it “a living museum of artistry, passion, and showmanship”
— and fans are already flooding ticket sites ahead of the presale.
From Rivals to Revnion
Back in the 1960s and 70s, Tom Jones and Engelbert Humperdinck were friendly rivals in the UK pop scene, both known for their velvet vocals, magnetic stage presence, and fiercely loyal fan bases. While Tom became the ultimate Welsh powerhouse with hits like “It’s Not Unusual” and “Delilah”,
, Engelbert carved his own
niche with romantic ballads like “Release Me” and “The Last Waltz.”
Cher, meanwhile, was redefining pop culture across the Atlantic — first as part of Sonny & Cher, then as a solo powerhouse with a voice and tyle that refused to be confined by any single era. Over the years, the three crossed paths at charity galas, TV specials, and Las Vegas residencies, occasionally sharing the stage — but never embarking on a full-scale joint tour.
Until now
A Tour Built on Legacy and Storytelling.
The One Last Ride tour promises more than just a series of concerts — it will be an immersive journey through music history. Each show will be divided into three signature acts:
1. Individual Spotlight Sets — where each artist performs their greatest hits with full band and orchestral backing.
2. Storytelling Interludes — intimate segments where they share personal memories, behind-the-scenes anecdotes, and reflections on life in the spotlight.
3. The Grand Finale — all three on stage together, reimagining classics in three-part harmonies, backed by custom visuals chronicling their careers.
Fans can expect duets that have never been performed live before — Tom and Engelbert revisiting the crooner classics, Cher joining Tom for a soulful reinvention of “I Got You Babe”
‘, and all three uniting for a show-stopping version of “The
Green, Green Grass of Home” blended into “Believe.
