Fish in the fall on Farewell Tour in Germany

Fish, the icon of Progressive Rock and celebrated artist, singer, musician, frontman, and top-notch lyricist, announces his farewell tour "Road To The Isles," with which he will say goodbye after four decades full of hits and memories. He will tour through both Europe and the UK, with his last concert on the mainland scheduled for November 3 in Berlin. In the 80s, Derek Dick, known simply as Fish, became famous as the singer and especially as the lyricist for the band Marillion. With albums like "Script for a Jester’s Tear," "Clutching at Straws," and especially "Misplaced Childhood" featuring the global hit "Kayleigh," the Scotsman gained fame. However, at the height of his success, the shy singer, who could only perform in disguise at the time, stepped away and began his long solo career. In 2020, he released "Weltschmerz," the album he labeled as his last. However, the subsequent farewell tour fell victim to the Corona pandemic – and is now being rescheduled: "Calling a tour a 'farewell tour' carries a certain weight, and I am so glad that I managed to bring together a best-of ensemble of musicians from my entire live career. They are not only highly talented musicians but also old friends and co-writers of some of my best songs. It feels more like a Hollywood film where veterans come together for one last mission than a rock 'n' roll tour." The title refers to a farm on the Hebrides, where Fish intends to retreat with his wife to write screenplays and novels. He considers himself more a writer who can sing than a singer who writes. But before that, he wants to breathe the air of the road one last time and give something back to his fans who have inspired and motivated him over the years. One thing Fish makes clear: "This won't be one of those endless farewell tours, and there is no fixed setlist. There are so many potential songs from the solo albums and also from Marillion. We are rehearsing about 25 to 30 songs that we will play at will. This keeps it interesting for both us and the fans, who won’t know which songs will be played on the night they come." After that, it will be over for good. Those who want to be there: Fish will come to Germany one last time in mid-October and early November.
