Following the Top 10 success of Universal Records’ TIMELESS album, a two disc, 40 track collection of Dr Hook’s greatest hits and favourite album tracks personally chosen by Dennis Locorriere and released in the UK last year, the decision was made to release the album in other countries including New Zealand and to embark on a world tour that celebrates the ‘Hook’ legacy -- performing songs the way fans remember them sounding from THE voice of the artist who recorded them.

Dennis comments;
"There was quite a long period of time when I shied away from performing many of the classic Hook songs.

"Although the band and our music was popular all around the world, those days weren't always the happiest of times for us and I felt I needed to put some distance between my past and the present.
Now the years have flown by and several of the original band members have sadly passed away.

"I've since come to understand and appreciate just how much these songs still mean to so many people so when I was approached by Universal I welcomed the opportunity to become totally involved in the production of this album.
I feel like now is the right time to hit the road to celebrate my history and give the fans an evening of music and entertainment they will love!"

New Zealand marks the start of the TIMELESS World Tour.
