"Will Never Die" are the three words of intent from Mike Peters and The Alarm's 'Sixty Eight Guns' evergreen 1983 hit single which was at the centre of the band's worldwide smash hit album 'Declaration' which will celebrate it's 30th anniversary in 2014.
A unique one man band 'Alarm' tour by lead singer and songwriter Mike Peters will present the album in a contemporary setting with performance, stories and images to highlight the impact this album had on the decade it was born in and it's ongoing relevance as Mike Peters continues his personal fight against cancer with the Love Hope Strength cancer charity 'Saving lives - One Concert At A Time'.
Upon release in February 1984, Declaration debuted at number 6 in the UK charts, achieving gold record status before becoming a top 40 hit in the USA. The Alarm's sound was powered by a mix of protest punk, folk, americana and stadium rock.
Two-time cancer survivor Mike Peters is emerging as one of the most visible advocates and activists for those living with and beating cancer around the world. Although Peters is once again facing the illness, he recently performed for 3 months across the USA with his other adopted band Big Country. Whilst undergoing chemotherapy, Peters is meeting with politicians, filming his second documentary, climbing mountains and hosting benefit shows for his Love Hope Strength Foundation.
Don't miss this truly inspirational performer, whose enthusiasm for life, lively storytelling and passionate delivery make for one of the most incredible shows around.
