Michael Bublé has had a massive impact on local fans since news broke of his upcoming South African tour. East Coast Radio and Big Concerts have announced that the acclaimed vocalist will now be performing at the International Convention Centre in Durban on December 16.

"We are very excited to hear that the Michael Bublé tour has been extended to Durban," said East Coast Radio Programme Manager Naveen Singh. "Michael Bublé is a popular artist with our listeners and his current release Everything has been an East Coast Radio Top 10 Smash Hit."

The 31 year old Canadian's reputation as one of the world's accomplished 'entertainers' is now legendary. "Bublé's stage presence is magnetic. He has charisma, energy and when he sings, words float out of his mouth; he swivels like Elvis with a flash of a tap dancing Fred Astaire. He has fun," raved the London Sunday Times Magazine. Bublé also received sizzling reviews during his recent sold out US tour, and will be dominating European stages as he makes his way to South Africa.

The multi-platinum, Grammy nominated, four-time Juno award-winning artist whose collective worldwide record sales have exceeded 13 million units, has recently enjoyed the No.1 spot in the South African charts, with his third and latest album, Call Me Irresponsible. The first hit single from the album, Everything, boasts the fastest trip to No.1 in three years on Billboards Adult Contemporary chart.
