New single and tour announcement
Wednesday 4th June 2003
by Tom Macklin
Daniel Bedingfield took the charts by storm back in December 2001 with his first UK number 1 "Gotta Get Through This". Hailed as the next big thing in Garage, which as a music genre was then at its peek, Daniel Bedingfield had the world at his feet with this upbeat track, allegedly written & recorded in his room and inspired by his girlfriend at the time who lived in Leeds. This track was as big in the clubs as it was in the charts.
So, a year and a half later and where is Daniel now?
Well, he is still topping the charts, although adding more diversity to his music (the follow up to "Gotta Get Through This" was rock inspired "James Dean", and his Christmas ‘02 smash hit was the pop power ballad "If Your Not the One"), has a number one platinum album under his belt, has cracked America and is about to embark on his second UK tour. Not bad eh?
"Never Gonna Leave Your Side" is Daniel‘s fifth single to be released from his album "Gotta Get Through This" and is out on July 21st 2003. Written by Daniel when he was away from home in the US at the begining of the year it became an instant hit with fans who saw Daniel perform the track on his debut UK tour throughout March & April and was subsequently added to the album upon its re-issue in March.
Having played 15 dates on that tour and numerous others in the US, including a gig in front of 75,000 in the Pasadena Rose bowl for an LA-based radio show, Daniel is raring to get back on the road again in the UK and just announced the following dates (all November 2003):
