As the frontman of the band Smokie, he became world-famous and celebrated with hits such as „Living Next Door To Alice“, „Lay Back In The Arms Of Someone“ or „I'll Meet You At Midnight“ in the 70s with great band successes. „Midnight Lady“ marked his phenomenal breakthrough as a solo artist. Since then, Chris Norman has written countless unforgettable hits and continues to inspire both old and new fans. With more than 20 million records sold worldwide, the British singer and guitarist can look back on an extraordinarily successful career. On 25 October 2025, Chris Norman celebrates his 75th birthday and is marking the occasion with the release of his new single „LIFELINES“ - a first forerunner from the new album of the same name, which will follow in March next year. Advance sales for his upcoming „LIFELINES“ tour, which will finally bring the world star back to the stages in a total of 13 cities in Germany in 2026, will also start on Wednesday, 22 October 2025.

It all starts with the first Single „LIFELINES“, which also symbolises the beginning of the journey into the past: „‚LIFELINES‘ is a song about memories and experiences from my life and career - moments that evoke those strong feelings in me that only music can“, so Chris Norman.
