Engelbert Humperdinck is 89 and better than ever!

The legendary crooner was spotted by the Daily Mail enjoying a screening of My Mom Jayne in Los Angeles, joined by his daughter, Louise. The documentary follows the life of Mariska Hargitay's late mother, Jayne Mansfield.

The British crooner looked as handsome as ever in a black suit with a black-and-white striped tie over a white shirt. Louise also looked lovely, wearing a dress in black and white.The beloved singer has also raked in plenty of fans on social media, where he's an avid user of TikTok and Instagram. He even recently chatted openly there about how much he misses cruising the open road on his Harley.

"I need to get a gadget to strap my phone to my chest so you can come along with me," the singer shared.

While he may not be doing it from his Harley, he'll be hitting the road quite soon. Last month, he announced a series of tour dates that will have fans ready to belt out his greatest his from his 42 studio albums.

“So happy to be celebrating another stepping stone in life …. The road, the music and the places I get to see keep me young at heart,” Humperdinck shared in a statement, according to UDiscover Music. “And the audiences, some who have been with me since the very beginning and some who have just discovered my music, are both fuel and tonic to me. I work hard and work out religiously and thank God for my blessings.”

Engelbert Humperdinck made a rare public appearance with his daughter Louise Dorsey on Monday.

The 89-year-old singer, who has recently been embroiled in a feud with another crooner, Tom Jones, was spotted at a Los Angeles screening of My Mom Jayne, a documentary about Jayne Mansfield made by her daughter Mariska Hargitay.

Humperdinck has a historic association with Mansfield - after her tragic death, he was one of the celebrity owners of her iconic Sunset Blvd mansion the 'Pink Palace.' 

He was joined on the red carpet with his daughter Louise Dorsey before watching the new documentary from actress-turned-filmmaker Mariska.

The legendary singer stepped out in a classic black suit with a white dress shirt, a black and white striped tie, black belt, black pants and black shoes.

He was joined by his daughter Louise, who wore a unique black shirt with a white stripe and shoulder cutouts.

He was joined by his daughter Louise, who wore a unique black shirt with a white stripe and shoulder cutouts.

Born Gerry Dorsey, the singer adopted the stage name Engelbert Humperdinck in the 1960s at the urging of his manager Gordon Mills.

Mills, who had already gotten his other client Tom Woodward to become Tom Jones, persuaded the young Dorsey that a similar move would help his still sluggish career get off the ground.

Armed with his exciting, exotic new name - which was swiped from the German composer of the 19th century opera Hansel and Gretel - the freshly minted Engelbert Humperdinck exploded in popularity with hits like Release Me and The Last Waltz.

The 'Pink Palace' was a legendary home on Los Angeles' Sunset Blvd that was originally built in the 1930s for the celebrated singer Rudy Vallee.

Jayne Mansfield bought the sprawling eight-bedroom mansion for $76,000 in 1957 and lived there with her second husband Mickey Hargitay, whom she was married to when she welcomed Mariska into the world.

She was the one who had the house done entirely in pink, down to the color of the champagne that flowed of her fountain and even the shag carpet covering the walls, ceiling and floor of her bathroom.

After Mansfield tragically in a car accident in 1967 at the age of 34, the home passed from celebrity to celebrity, including 'Mama Cass' Elliot and Ringo Starr.

Its final famous owner was Humperdinck, who purchased the property in 1976 and painted it white, only to then feel it had 'lost its character' and go back to pink.

'I lived there for 28 years, Jayne for just eight, but it was always her home,' he recalled to DailyMail.com years ago. 

'Sonny and Cher lived next door and Esther Williams lived opposite. I had dinner with Jayne Mansfield two weeks before she was killed and she invited me to stay with her.'

By the early 1990s, he was attempting to offload the sprawling Mediterranean-style mansion, which he ultimately sold in 2002 to developers who had it razed.

The crooner made headlines in November with an exclusive interview with Daily Mail where he opened up about his decades-long feud with Tom Jones, who he called, 'a pr**k.'

‘Whatever he thinks is fine with me, but I would never repeat those words to him,’ said Engelbert, famed for tunes like The Last Waltz and Release Me.

‘I was brought up to believe that civility costs nothing – my father taught me that – and if you’re not going to say anything good about somebody, don’t say anything at all.

‘I have never done that and I never will,' he added.

Reminded that he has previously been reported as saying Tom, 84, had ‘lost his voice’, Engelbert responded: ‘I never made that criticism, no sir.

‘I have always said the man is a great talent with a great voice and that is why he is still around today.

‘I’ve never said anything derogatory about that man, never.'

The two men are forever linked thanks to their parallel careers. Both were managed by Gordon Mills who suggested they change their names to find fame.

Gerry Dorsey chose the moniker of an obscure German composer while Thomas Woodward picked the far simpler name from a Henry Fielding novel.

Tom had the greater success with smash hits like It’s Not Unusual and What’s New Pussycat?, but Engelbert wasn’t far behind on both sides of the Atlantic with songs like Les Bicyclettes de Belsize and Am I That Easy to Forget?

Both were sex symbols with long-standing marriages, Tom married Linda Trenchard aged 16 when she became pregnant, and Engelbert tied the knot with Patricia Healey in 1964.

Sadly, both are now single again. Linda died of cancer in 2016 while Patricia died the following year after a long battle with Alzheimer’s.

It’s not often that tourists get to see a real-life superstar cleaning his own star on Hollywood’s Walk of Fame but that’s exactly what happened when legendary singer Engelbert Humperdinck decided to take a stroll down the famous boulevard this week.

Engelbert, best known for his for his mega hits Release Me, A Man Without Love, Quando Quando Quando, amongst others, amazed onlookers as he used his foot to wipe a hanky over his star. “I would get on my knees to clean it but people may think I’m strange,” the singer said as he personally filmed it for his weekly Tuesday museday for his social media channels.

He was later spotted signing autographs for dozens of thrilled fans proving yet again that he is not that easy to forget.

Engelbert Humperdinck returns to the Saban Theatre on June 14, bringing his trademark charm and showmanship to one of his favorite stages. With a new album on the way, the legendary singer is preparing for a special night in Beverly Hills.

“I find it very comforting to be going back there,” Humperdinck said.

The pop sensation, who first rose to fame in the 1960s with a succession of hits such as “Release Me” and “There Goes My Everything,” has long enjoyed an enthusiastic fan base – dubbed “Humperdinckers” – which seem to gain new members with each generation. Humperdinck’s music has found new life, again and again, through its frequent use in popular media. Recently, “Bullet Train,” “GLOW” and “Umbrella Academy” all used his songs. He also appeared as himself on “Grace & Frankie” in 2020.

“I don’t do a lot of shows like that, but when they asked me … I remember in the past, you know, when they had shows like “Hotel” and “Fantasy Island” … I love doing them, too, because they have a great [group] of people in the industry,” he said.

“Moon Knight,” the series from Marvel Studios starring Oscar Issac and Ethan Hawke used his “A Man Without Love” in 2022.

“A lot of young people saw this show, and I was noticing in my audience a lot of young people started to see what an Engelbert Humperdinck looked like,” he said.

Humperdinck said that he enjoys how cross-generational appearances have allowed him to have audiences of all ages.

“If you have got a [multi-generational] audience, you’ve got longevity. That’s what happened in my career … it’s my 58th year in show business. And it’s still going strong,” he said.

With over 140 million records sold internationally, Humperdinck just turned 89 on May 2, and shows no signs of slowing down. His stop in Beverly Hills is just one on his latest tour, which he’s titled after another of his most popular tunes, “The Last Waltz.” But really – that’s just a title.

“Everywhere I go, there are comments and backlash [saying I’d retire], so I decided not to give it up,” Humperdinck said.

After he wraps up in the United States, Humperdinck will continue on to his native England, though he has long called California home. He has had a home in Bel Air for 18 years, but even years before that British manager Gordon Mills made a Los Angeles career possible.

“He managed me, and he gave me my name,” Humperdinck explained.

Humperdinck’s unique name is a moniker. He was born Arnold George Dorsey in British India, but took on his stage name, borrowed from Germany’s 19th century “Hansel and Gretel” composer.

“I did what [Mills] told me to do in L.A., and I’ve been living here ever since,” he said. “It’s been my home base.:

Fans can expect to hear “A Man Without Love,” “The Way It Used to Be,” “After the Lovin’” – all the favorites. Humperdinck will hit the stage at 8 p.m. and tickets are available at engelbert.com.

British pop singer Englebert Humperdinck has announced a new run of US live shows.

The tour begins on May 17th in Flagstaff, Arizona, before moving to Fort McDowell, Beverly Hills, Riverside, and a two-night run at Las Vegas’ Orleans Resort. The announcement coincides with the veteran balladeer’s 89th birthday, which he celebrated today.

“So happy to be celebrating another stepping stone in life …. The road , the music and the places I get to see keep me young at heart,” Humperdinck shared in a statement. “And the audiences, some who have been with me since the very beginning and some who have just discovered my music, are both fuel and tonic to me. I work hard and work out religiously and thank God for my blessings.”

The new dates join a previously announced European and UK tour, set to run from September 5th through September 21st. Later in September, Humperdinck will return to the US for two East Coast dates in Massachusetts and Rhode Island, at the Lynn Auditorium and Bally’s Event Center, respectively.

MAY 2, 2025 [New York, NY] -- Iconic singer ENGELBERT HUMPERDINCK is celebrating his 89th birthday (born May 2, 1936). The veteran artist has released a whopping 42 studio albums that have sold over 140 million records worldwide. Continually packing venues globally, he will be performing over 60 shows this year throughout Europe, the United Kingdom, Southeast Asia and the United States.

“I am blessed with longevity in my family, love of my job and loyalty of those who have followed the road I have travelled,” he says about this milestone. “For these gifts, I am truly grateful.”

A nod to his ever-growing legacy in the continually-shifting musical landscape, Engelbert proceeds to build his online presence with over 499,000 YouTube subscribers, 400,000 Facebook followers, and 2.4 million Spotify monthly listeners. Every Tuesday, he actively engages fans of all ages worldwide by adding a personal video message for his "Tuesday Museday" series (each video racking tens of thousands of views). 

“A lesson I learned at the well-rounded age of 88 was to not let the curtain fall before its time,” he explains. “Don’t limit yourself with a number. As another page turns in my story and my diary, I’m excited to add 89 to The Last Waltz Tour and see many more places that I have come to know and love over the years. Familiar faces in the audiences have become a special kind of family.”

​​Celebrated the world over, Engelbert’s imprint on the entertainment world for nearly seven decades continues to build upon his ongoing impact. First coming to international prominence with his breakout singles “Release Me” and “The Last Waltz” in 1967, both of which topped the UK singles charts that year and selling more than a million copies each, he scored numerous other indelibly memorable hits including “After the Lovin’,” “There Goes My Everything,” “Am I That Easy to Forget,” and “This Moment in Time.” His 1968 single “A Man Without Love” found a whole new audience when it was featured in the Marvel Universe series Moon Knight (its video is at a staggering 48million views), and “Quando Quando Quando” on Netflix’s Umbrella Academy. A newly recorded version of West Ham United’s football anthem "Forever Blowing Bubbles" was featured prominently in the hit movie Bullet Train which starred Brad Pitt.

His latest album, All About Love (released in 2023 on OK! Good Records) was a collection of eye-opening reinterpretations of classic love songs, reworkings of some of his own classics, including the #1 R&B hit "If You Don't Know Me By  Now" which was originally released by Harold Melvin & the Blue Notes in 1972, the Philly soul classic "When Will I See You Again" (originally released in 1974 by The Three Degrees), and Lou Rawls’ perennial classic “You’ll Never Find Another Love Like Mine.” As a nod to his ever-growing Latin fanbase, Engelbert re-recorded "A Man Without Love" as a duet with “Mexico’s Sweetheart”  Angelica Maria and the bolero classic “Besame Mucho,” featuring two-time GRAMMY®-nominated Mariachi star Lupita Infante. His country-western tinged rendition of Barry White’s 1974 Gold-selling chart topper “You’re The First, The Last, My Everything” has amassed over 3.3million views on YouTube and inspired a line-dance from its celebratory music video, which was filmed at Los Angeles’ authentic Honky-Tonk club, Cowboy Palace Saloon. 

Not one to sit still for long, especially when he has 89 candles to blow out, Engelbert looks forward to continuing his momentum. He smirkingly says, “Here’s to many more miles ahead!”
