The album which was released 20 years ago this week, went on to sell over 1.4 million copies in the UK alone and was certified 4x Platinum. The tour sees all four original members \u2013 Antony Costa, Duncan James, Lee Ryan and Simon Webbe \u2013 reunite for a fun-filled epic show. The concert will feature all the band\u2019s hits from their 5 albums as well as some incredible surprises.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Speaking of the tour, Blue added: <em>\u201cWe can\u2019t believe it\u2019s been 20 years since All Rise, our debut album, was released. It\u2019s been quite the ride since then and now we have so much to look forward to as we go into our third decade! We had a lot of time in lock down to reconnect as friends and we started thinking how we could celebrate the anniversary. The four of us started working on new music and it felt so good to be back doing what we love again. This time off during the pandemic also made us realise how much we missed performing live. We can\u2019t wait to get back on the road and see all of you at our Heart &amp; Soul Tour. We have been planning this tour for a while and we promise you, we\u2019ll be putting on the best show and making it a celebratory night you won\u2019t forget! We have some surprises up our sleeve for the 20<sup>th<\/sup> anniversary so stay tuned, 2022 is going to be a big one!\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Blue are one of the most successful British bands and have sold over 16 million albums worldwide including 3.6 million albums and 1.4 million singles in the UK. Their first 3 albums all topped the Official Album Chart and the group have worked with a variety of legends including Stevie Wonder, Elton John and Lil\u2019 Kim.
