Singer Derek Dick, better known as Fish, has officially announced his final tour. He will perform live again under the motto “Road To The Isles” and will start in Europe. The Scot will appear seven times in Germany – in Hamburg, Cologne, Stuttgart, Munich, Dresden, Karlsruhe and Berlin. ROLLING STONE presents.
Farewell after 40 years
After four decades in which Fish played a key role in shaping progressive rock, he would like to say goodbye to the world of rock’n’roll. He became known in the 80s as the singer and lyricist for Marillion. Despite the band’s success, the singer, who at the time only performed in disguise, dropped out at the peak and began his long-lasting solo career. In 2020 he released the album “World Pain“, which he described as his last. The subsequent farewell tour had to be postponed due to the corona pandemic and will now be rescheduled.
Saying “goodbye” isn’t easy for the singer, but he’s still happy about how he can end his career now. On Instagram he explains: “I’m so happy that I was able to put together a “best of” line-up of musicians from my entire live career to ride on the bus with me on my last tour.”
