Humperdinck Show on UK television and extravagant performances in Las Vegas, a concert by Humperdinck is definitely one to remember. believe it speaks to my life, where it is and where it has been with the everlasting love I’ve received from above,” said Humperdinck.

“When I was a boy, I fell into a sharkinfested timber pond and my brother, who could not swim either, pulled me out as he balanced on a log. I was also stricken with tuberculosis as a young man and was forced to watch many in my ward leave this life. I am lucky to be here today. I’ve had an angel for sure.”
