"The most successful British instrumental group in chart history,
The Shadows, are back together for one last hurrah. Hank B. Marvin,
the legendary guitarist whose style influenced dozens of young
aspiring axemen from Mark Knopfler to Peter Frampton, will reunite
with bassist Bruce Welch and drummer Brian Bennett for what’s being
billed as The Final Tour, a massive 37-date itinerary that starts on
April 30 and concludes at the London Palladium on June 14. Universal
will release the 45-track double CD, Life Story - The Very Best Of The
Shadows, on June 26, and the compilation will include the
newly-recorded instrumental "Life Story," which really does bring
the story of the "Shads" full circle because it was written by
Jerry Lordan, who recorded their first smash "Apache," a massive
No.1 hit in 1960."
