Believe In Miracles: Colin Blunstone's Solo Tour Across the UK
Colin Blunstone, the former singer of The Zombies, is embarking on a solo tour across the UK this month.

The upcoming tour will feature a mix of new material, songs from his debut album One Year, and some of The Zombies' classic hits. Additionally, special guests, the Q-Strings, will join him for select shows in Wimborne, London, and Milton Keynes.
Colin Blunstone is currently working on a new solo album, which he hopes to complete by the autumn. The drummer of his solo band is Steve Rodford, the son of the late Zombies bassist Jim, adding a familial touch to the performances. Despite his long career, Colin Blunstone still enjoys singing The Zombies' iconic songs like Time Of The Season and She's Not There, along with lesser-known tracks that he believes deserve more recognition.
The timeless appeal of The Zombies' music is evident in its frequent appearances in various media, from TV shows like The Crown and The Walking Dead to movies and commercials. While the recognition and royalties from these songs are appreciated, Colin Blunstone emphasizes the importance of maintaining a healthy lifestyle to preserve his distinctive voice. He advises aspiring singers to seek guidance from vocal coaches regardless of age.
Although The Zombies retired from touring in 2024, there is still a possibility of new music from the band. Colin Blunstone hints at recording new material, including one particular song.
