TULSA – Rod Stewart will perform hits from his four decades as a singing star in a summer concert at the BOK Center.
The British singer with the trademark raspy voice will make his Tulsa tour stop on Aug. 20, the venue announced today.
Tickets will go on sale at 10 a.m. May 11. They will be available at the Arby’s Box Office at the arena and Reasor’s stores; online at www.bokcenter.com and www.livenation.com; and by phone at (866) 726-5287.
Stewart, 64, is making the stop as part of a limited engagement summer tour, according to a BOK Center news release.
The singer, who has sold an estimated 250 million albums and singles, will have a wide variety of material to choose from over his lengthy career.
He began his rise to fame in the 1960s and early ’70s with the bands the Jeff Beck Group and The Faces. He became an outright star in 1971 with the release of his third solo album, “Every Picture Tells a Story,” which included the huge hit “Maggie May.”
His other solo hits include “Da Ya Think I’m Sexy?,” Hot Legs,” “Forever Young” and “Rhythm of My Heart.”
After experimenting with many variations on rock and pop, Stewart in 2002 released the first of his four albums of standards. “The Great American Songbook” albums put him back near the top after a drought of chart hits.
His last album, 2006′s “Still the Same: Great Rock Classics of Our Time,” consisted of classic rock covers.
Rhino Records recently released a remastered collector’s edition CD/DVD set of Stewart’s 1993 “MTV Unplugged” performance with guitarist Ron Wood and Stewart’s accompanying album, “Unplugged…and Seated,” which spawned his Top 10 single “Have I Told You Lately.”
