Gilbert O'Sullivan

Gilbert O’Sullivan returns to Belgium on Wednesday, September 15, 2027, after an 8-year absence for an exclusive concert in Kursaal Oostende. The legendary singer-songwriter, known for his hits ‘Alone Again’, 'Clair’, and ‘Nothing Rhymed’, will soon be releasing a new album. With his solo performance ‘Just Gilbert’, he will bring both old and new hits to Ostend in an intimate setting. De Ierse Engelsman from Waterford was particularly successful at scoring hit after hit in the 70s and has since produced no fewer than 21 albums. His music is known for its melancholic observations of the human condition. His work explores themes such as loneliness, melancholy, death, and existential doubts, often wrapped in seemingly cheerful piano melodies. At the beginning of his career, he gained fame for his appearance as a street urchin from the twenties with a bowl cut, striped tie, shorts, and cap. On his latest albums, we can still hear the true Pianoman singing his heart out behind his keys. The latest album reached the top 20 in the UK and received critical acclaim worldwide, but the big hits from the 70s remain an absolute highlight of timeless allure.
