# An Evening with Michael Bublé

An Evening with Michael Bublé was the sixth concert tour by Canadian singer Michael Bublé. Launched in support of his tenth studio album, Love (2018), the tour began on February 13, 2019, in Tampa and played 152 shows throughout North America, Europe and Australia.

## Background

Following the announcement of his son's cancer diagnosis, Bublé took a break from recording and touring. In the spring of 2018, it was revealed the singer completed recording his tenth album and retirement rumors began to spread, as he mentioned his family was his main priority and he no longer had the desire for fame. He performed a few spot stadium concerts in Dublin, London and Sydney during the summer of 2018. The tour was officially announced November 2018 on the singer's Instagram. Jokingly referred to as the "Don't Believe the Rumors Tour" or the "Don't Stop the Rumors Tour", Bublé and his publicist confirmed there were no plans to retire. Shortly after the tour was announced, PBS released the singer's concert special, "Tour Stop 148". Airing November 24, 2018, the special was featured as an installment of the station's long-running series, Great Performances.
During an interview with Billboard, Bublé expressed his excitement with returning to touring. He stated:
   "I'm going to go back to what I was made to do. I'm going to come back to a world that needs love and romance and laughter more than it has in a long time. I'm going to be a conduit to that. This is the greatest record I've ever made."

### Fire Fight Australia benefit concert

During his concert on 16 February 2020 at Rod Laver Arena in Melbourne, Australia, there was a live cross with three songs to the Fire Fight Australia benefit concert at Stadium Australia in Sydney to raise funds for the national bushfire relief following the Black Summer bushfires, which had an attendance of 75,000 and a live television audience peaking at 4.7 million viewers. The live charity album Artists Unite for Fire Fight: Concert for National Bushfire Relief, included his song Such a Night from the live cross. The album debuted at number one on the Australian albums chart.

## Critical reception

The tour received overwhelming praise from music critics and was treated as a welcomed return by the fans. Gabe Echazabal from Creative Loafing Tampa Bay described the concert at the Amalie Arena as a night full of love. He wrote: "Still, Bublé’s greatest asset — his voice — gained strength and richness as the night progressed. He was as potent during his stirring version of 'My Funny Valentine' as he was infectious during an homage to former singer and trumpet player Louis Prima. [...] Bublé turned the event into a dance party. As a nod to those who may feel uncomfortable or uneasy cutting loose, Bublé put no pressure on those folks".
In Pittsburgh, Patti Conley (of The Beaver County Times) followed the sentiments of Echazabal, describing the performance as heartfelt. She continued to say: "For two hours, Buble shared center stage with a 36-piece orchestra that impeccably accompanied and grounded him on a musical journey of life's highs and deepest lows. Buble sang and sashayed as if he were fingers on piano keys, running up steps to the orchestra, walking a runway touching outstretched hands and stopping to pose for selfies, and dancing — sort of — to whatever tempo the tunes demanded. He jumped like a jack-in-the-box".
Nancy J. Parisi of The Buffalo News says the show at the KeyBank Center was a triumphant return to form for Bublé. She goes on to say: "Thirty-four musicians, seated on four tiers, began 'Feeling Good' as an onstage circular monitor above undulated with red shimmering shapes. Bublé emerged in his signature blue suit, making his way down the staircase, singing, as the monitor's imagery morphed into a giant moon behind him. This arresting imagery flowed into a show highlighting what is known as The Great American Songbook, beloved classics, with a handful of Bublé pop compositions interspersed".
