Legendary Status with Gritty Voice
Chris Norman became world famous as the frontman of Smokie and shaped entire radio generations with classics like Living Next Door To Alice, Lay Back In The Arms Of Someone and I’ll Meet You At Midnight. As a solo artist, he also made music history with Midnight Lady; the new chapter LIFELINES connects exactly to this mixture of memory, pathos, and strong melody lines.

LIFELINES as a Musical Autobiography
The current tour accompanies the eponymous album LIFELINES, released in 2026, which tells Norman's career in song form. According to the official announcement, new pieces are set to be the focus alongside the big hits, driven by the distinctive voice, clear orchestration, and a stage performance that opts for a time travel experience instead of mere routine.
