4X GRAMMY NOMINEE, 64 GOLD ALBUMS, 24 PLATINUM ALBUMS AND 140 MILLION RECORDS SOLD – THE ICONIC SINGER REUNITES WITH MULTI-PLATINUM PRODUCER JOEL DIAMOND

LOS ANGELES, CA, UNITED STATES, April 30, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Turning 90 on May 2, Engelbert Humperdinck – the legendary “King of Romance” – continues to defy time with the release of his new single, “I’ve Got You,” available now everywhere on all platforms via Silver Blue Records, distributed by Sony Orchard. 

Humperdinck, whose career spans more than six decades and includes over 140 million records sold worldwide and 63 Gold and 24 Platinum albums, the four-time Grammy nominee and Golden Globe winner reunites with multi-Platinum producer Joel Diamond on “I’ve Got You.” Fifty years after their first pairing on the worldwide hit “After the Lovin,’” over the course of their enduring partnership, Engelbert and Diamond have collaborated on 109 recordings together. Engelbert, known for his legendary catalog of timeless hits “Release Me,” “The Last Waltz,” “This Moment in Time” and “After the Lovin’,” which has defined generations of romantic music, he has yielded some of the most beloved romantic recordings ever made from his creative alliance with Diamond

Says Humperdinck, "After all these years in music, there’s still nothing quite like the feeling of a new song finding its way into the world. ‘I’ve Got You’ is especially close to my heart. It speaks to love, loyalty, and the quiet strength we find in one another—and I believe that message matters now more than ever. Joel Diamond and I have shared an extraordinary journey in music, and somehow, the magic still feels as fresh as ever."

Adds Diamond, “Turning 90 this May, Engelbert continues to deliver performances that rival his most iconic recordings. ‘I’ve Got You’ brings the same passion, dedication, and unmistakable magic that first captivated audiences worldwide and made ‘After the Lovin’ a timeless classic. More than just a new release, ‘I’ve Got You’ stands as a celebration of longevity, artistry, and a historic creative bond between us that continues to shape the sound of romance in music. When I first produced ‘After the Lovin’, there was nothing on the radio that came even close to sounding like it — and now, history is repeating itself."

“I’ve Got You” was written by the late, legendary producer/songwriter Larry Butler – renowned for producing many of Kenny Rogers’ greatest hits (“Lucille,” “The Gambler,” “She Believes In Me,”) as well as penning the Grammy-winning classic “Another Somebody Done Somebody Wrong Song” for B. J. Thomas. “I’ve Got You” was the final composition Butler completed before his passing, and in a deeply personal moment, Butler once said that “this is the very best song I have ever written.” The magical arrangement and instrumentation was crafted by the highly respected and exceptionally talented Ted Perlman.

In addition to the new single, Humperdinck continues to tour year-round, with upcoming performances scheduled for this June through November - both nationally and internationally - including the U.S., Southeast Asia, Germany, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and more.

Engelbert Humperdinck has performed for the Queen four times, several presidents and many heads of state, and has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. He has recorded everything from the most romantic ballads to movie theme songs, disco, rock, and even gospel. His unique voice has charmed millions of fans around the globe.

Humperdinck exploded on to the music scene with The Beatles and the Rolling Stones. His first single on the charts was “Release Me,” which went into the “Guinness Book of Records” for achieving 56 consecutive weeks on the charts. It was No. 1 in 11 countries. The following decades have seen Engelbert consistently touring the world to sell-out crowds. Engelbert has also been awarded the Honor of Member of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire (MBE) by Her Majesty the Queen’s Birthday Honors List.

Just like Tom Jones, Engelbert Humperdinck was a Las Vegas performing contemporary of Elvis Presley.

The British singer, who turns 90 next month, shows no sign of stopping, having performed at Westgate in Sin City this past weekend.

Ahead of returning in October for a couple more dates at what was the International Hotel, where Elvis performed all 636 of his residency shows, Engelbert has given a new interview on his friendship with the King from the suite at the top of the casino hotel where he once had a spooky encounter after Elvis’ death in 1977.

Speaking with Vegas PBS, Engelbert shared: “When I first met him, the first thing he ever did was he embraced me. He gave me a hug. And I thought, ‘Wow, that’s incredible coming from Elvis.’ He came to see my show when I was working at the Riviera. He came backstage that’s how we first met.”

On the King coming to watch his Vegas show, he remembered telling his crew: “‘Please let Elvis come in when the lights go down, I don’t want too many distractions!’ He sat down, but the buzz was around Elvis. And when I did introduce him, it took me 10 minutes to quiet the audience down. In the end, I said, ‘Elvis, this is my show!’. I brought out one of my big guns [hit songs] and it helped to quiet the audience down.”

“[We had] no rivalry. It was most friendly. I learned more from him than he learned from me because his status was much bigger than mine and he was the No 1 in the world. When I went to see his show, I took notes. I stole a lot of things from him… He never took his image seriously. He always made fun of his image which I thought was so wonderful.”

During his residencies, Elvis living in the suite at the top of the casino hotel where Englebert believes he was haunted by his ghost.

Englebert shared: “After Elvis had passed, I was booked in this particular hotel, and I stayed in his suite. There was something there that was unbelievable and had an atmosphere about it. When I went to bed the first night in his bedroom, there was a lamp… I’m watching the TV so I turned the light off. Boom, the light came on again. So I turned it off because I’m watching TV. The light came on again. Three times, the light did that. And then the jacuzzi was not far from me, it was behind the lattice door and that jacuzzi came on six times during that night. So I said to myself, ‘Elvis, I’m your friend, what are you doing to me?’

“And then the next week I was going to Hawaii and so I thought, why don’t I do a song that Elvis did in Hawaii called the Wedding Song. So I sent one of my guys out to get a tape so I could take the lyrics down. We put it in the machine ready to put the lyrics down. It just ate the tape and all the lights went out. My hair stood up like this. I said, ‘Elvis, come on now!’ That’s what happened on my very first night over here in this suite. But I think he was just making himself known… it was quite an experience.”

Engelbert Humperdinck is performing live at the Westgate Las Vegas this October and tickets can be booked here.

APRIL 13, 2026

At 89, Engelbert Humperdinck is doing what he’s always done: touring the world and singing better than ever. The King of Romance recently chatted with Las Vegas Magazine about performing at the Westgate, the TV moment that reached 220 million new fans and the promise to his late wife he keeps every night onstage. With a new single due on his 90th birthday and an album this summer, one thing is clear: The Last Waltz, which this tour is dubbed, is anything but.

You're playing the Westgate April 17-18, just two weeks before your 90th birthday. What does that milestone feel like?

I don’t feel my age. I tried slowing down—my manager suggested it—and I was home for three months climbing the walls. I called him up and said there’s no way this is going to be my last waltz. As long as I’m singing good, I'll keep going. And honestly, my voice has never sounded better. My vibrato has sort of disappeared and become more of a commercial sound, which I’m very proud of.

The Westgate is the stage where Elvis held his legendary residency. You two were friends—do you have a favorite memory of him?

I always wanted to meet him, and when I finally went backstage, it was mind-blowing. Then he came to my show, and that was really an occasion. When I introduced him, it took me 10 minutes to quiet the audience down. I said, “Elvis, this is my show.” We had such fun.

Moon Knight, The Umbrella Academy, Bullet Train—a whole new generation has discovered your music. What has that been like?

Can I just tell you what Moon Knight did? It reached 220 million strangers. And now the younger generation who watched that show is coming to find out what an Engelbert is all about. It’s quite fun, actually. Mind you, I’ve always had young audiences—you name the age, they’re there.

You’ve also built a real community online through your Tuesday Museday series. What's surprised you most about connecting with fans this way?

I read every comment and genuinely learn from them—what to keep in the show, what to leave out. The fans who respond to my Tuesday Museday are just amazing.

You’ve spoken so movingly about your wife, Patricia. When you perform “Everywhere I Go” for her, what does that feel like?

I promised her when she passed that I would keep her in every show, because I know she’s watching over me. I wrote that song for her about 30 years ago and never realized how poignant the lyrics would be at this point in my life. Some nights I can’t even finish it. But I promised.

What can fans expect from you beyond these shows?

I have a single coming out on my birthday—I worked with the same producer I did on “After the Lovin’,” and I think this one might have that same quality. There’s also an album coming on Cleopatra Records in July. Hopefully, it puts me back in the charts.

At the end of a show, what do you want audiences to walk away feeling?

Satisfied. My job is to take them away from whatever they experienced that day and carry them into another world.

Engelbert Humperdinck felt the spirit of Elvis Presley when he headlined the Las Vegas Hilton theater four years after the King died.

Humperdinck remembers the showroom was fabulous. But the top-floor Elvis suite is where Humperdinck, by then an international superstar, really felt Presley’s spirit.

“It was quite a feat to stay there, and an exquisite place,” Humperdinck says during a lunch chat at Westgate, the former Las Vegas Hilton, where he headlines at 7 p.m. Friday and Saturday (go to westgateresorts.com for intel). “I had quite an experience there.”

Then he turns to his daughter, Louise Dorsey and says, “Should I tell the story?”

“Yeah!” she says. “Tell the story!”

Humperdinck, sipping a Rémy Martin cognac (“It helps my brain work,” he laughs), has this story teed up.

“I was going to go to a show in Hawaii, and I needed a Hawaiian song, so I had one of my guys get a tape of Elvis singing ‘The Hawaiian Wedding Song,’ which was beautiful,” Humperdinck says. “I am up in the Elvis suite. I plug in the tape player so I could learn the lyrics. I get the pad ready to write them down, and all of a sudden, the machine eats the tape.”

The disquieting activity continued.

“Then all the lights go out. So I go to bed, I switch the lights on because I want to watch TV, and the light goes off. I switch it on three times, and it goes off three times,” Humperdinck says. “There is a Jacuzzi in the bathroom, and it turns on and off six times during the night. Then I go to sleep and all the lights come on.”

Humperdinck was convinced he was not alone.

“I said, ‘Elvis! Stop!’” Humperdinck says. “’I am your friend!’”

Humperdinck is back at the former Elvis theater after several years of headlining the Orleans Showroom, which has cleared its schedule of headliners in favor of a series of tribute shows. That leaves an opening for Humperdinck.

He turns 90 on May 2. The length of his career is mind-blowing when you consider his first No. 1 hit, “Please Release Me,” kept The Beatles’ “Penny Lane/Strawberry Fields Forever” out of the top spot in the U.K. in 1967.

It was the first time a Beatles single missed the No. 1 spot on British charts in four years.

“I had a big break when I was on ‘Sunday Night at the London Palladium,’ a very big show,” Humperdinck says. “As soon as I sang that song, the next day it was something like 80,000, 90,000 in sales. It went to 100,000, up to about 127,000 in a single day.”

Humperdinck was suddenly in an unlikely competition with The Beatles at their commercial peak.

“Little did they know, I was a big fan of The Beatles,” Humperdinck says. “I think for me, a nonentity to come from nowhere and stop the almighty Beatles from going to No. 1 was quite an achievement.”

Humperdinck’s major hits include “After the Loving,” “The Last Waltz,” “There Goes My Everything,” “Am I That Easy to Forget” and “A Man Without Love.” An international heartthrob with a rich baritone, Humperdinck dominated easy-listening stations into the ’80s.

He is still nimble in conversation. He addresses his rare position as an 89-year-old star playing a major Las Vegas showroom. Only 91-year-old Frankie Valli is older than Humperdinck among those who have headlined at Westgate. Barry Manilow, the resort’s sidelined resident headliner, is 82.

“I am still able to get out there and do it. Of course I have a different kind of voice, but I still have the range,” the master showman says. “Maybe it has dropped just a tiny bit, not enough to damage the power. I’m singing in a contemporary fashion, and I have a lot of hits. I sold over 150 million albums around the world and can still sing those songs. I can’t grumble about that.”

Double dose

Humperdinck’s singing son, Bradley Dorsey, plays The Composers Room at 1 p.m. Saturday. This is the rare chance to catch a son-father doubleheader in Las Vegas on the same day (go to thecomposersroom.com for intel).
