Wayne Hussey, the legendary British rock star and front-man and founder of UK band The Mission, who have to-date landed 14 consecutive top 40 UK hits with songs like "Butterfly on a Wheel, Lose myself in You, Like a Hurricane, Like a Child Again and Severina, has just released his critically acclaimed 2nd solo album entitled "Songs of Candlelight and Razorblades”. The album is available now on iTunes in S.A. & includes the first single and video "Wither on the Vine". The new album is backed up by an ambitious 50 date European tour, which will also see Wayne visiting South Africa for 4 exclusive- Live and Intimate shows at the famed Barnyard Theatre group, in conjunction with ASP Live. No strangers to South Africa, Wayne and The Mission have toured S.A. to sell out shows on three previous tours. Live music fans are in for a rare treat when Wayne takes to the stage: to perform songs from his new album, The Mission hits and some surprises along the way! Wayne promises that the shows will pretty much follow the form of his recent European tour and will feature songs from his new album, classic and lesser known Mission songs, as well as a selection of suitably maverick & idiosyncratic cover versions: 'This'll be my 5th or 6th time in South Africa and I've always had a great time there, always been made to feel very welcome. I've made some very good friends there on previous visits so it'll be good to meet up with them again. And it'll be good to see my old nemesis, Barney Simon, and resurrect our heated football discussions. I'm a red and he's a blue. Sounds like a song in there somewhere. And going back to Cape Town too, but hope I see more of it than I did last time which was basically the inside of a club and a hotel room. I'm looking forward to this, it's been too damn long!'
