Albert Hammond Jr. - Announces UK tour

New tour announced whilst shareing video for 'Far away Truths'

Earlier this year Albert Hammond Jr released his fourth critically acclaimed studio album 'Francis Trouble'. Today, Hammond Jr is pleased to share the official video for the single ‘Far Away Truths', which was directed by his wife Justyna who also creates all the lighting for his live shows. You can see the video at the bottom of this page.

'Francis Trouble' explores a deeply personal topic... the stillborn death of his twin brother Francis, and the lingering effects that event has had in his life and music. In November of 1979... Hammond Jr’s mother Claudia, miscarried. Although they rushed to the hospital, Claudia and Albert Hammond Sr. were told that the baby was far too premature to live. Albert continued to grow inside of his mother undetected until she was nearly six months pregnant.

Taking a page from Bowie, Hammond Jr says: “What the music says may be serious, but as a medium it should not be questioned, analyzed or taken too seriously. I think it should be tarted up, made into a character, a parody of itself. The music is the mask the message wears and I, the performer, am the message.” - Albert Hammond Jr.
