Belinda’s thirty years of heaven
AMERICAN singer Belinda Carlisle will be performing at the Liverpool Olympia on Saturday, October 7. The singer announced she’s back on the road with a very special UK tour this Autumn with the Heaven 30th Anniversary Tour where she will be performing a selection of tracks taken from her solo album Heaven On Earth along with impressive back catalogue of material including her personal favourites. Fans won’t be disappointed. Her album Heaven On Earth went platinum on both sides of the Atlantic cementing Carlisle’s place in the pop firmament, a position she maintains to this day.
If ever anyone has given Madonna a run for her money as the queen of the threeminute pop song, it’s Belinda Carlisle.
Over the past two decades, she’s made the journey from Hollywood-based teen punk with the Go-Gos to the ultimate global big hair pop icon with a serious of sophisticated, but instantly memorable pop-rock singles.
After a short stint as a drummer in the legendary Germs, Belinda helped form the Go-Gos.
Together they scored in every sense of the word, and with a string of hit singles including We Got The Beat and Our Lips Are Sealed and a double platinum debut, Beauty And The Beat (making them the first girl group to top the US albums chart), they broke down barriers for female bands in the music industry.
Q magazine noted, “Before riot grrrl, before ‘girl power’, before ladette culture had a name, there was the Go-Go’s.”
Rolling Stone went even further calling them “the world’s best female rock band.”
But it was with Heaven Is A Place On Earth that Belinda achieved international success, after the demise of the Go-Go’s in 1985.
Heaven on Earth proved to be her breakthrough internationally and overall her most successful album, peaking at #4 in The UK Album Chart, and certified triple platinum.
The single Heaven Is A Place on Earth topped the charts around the world.
