Engelbert Humperdinck flies home for 70th birthday

Engelbert Humperdinck has flown from Las Vegas to Leicester to celebrate his 70th birthday, saying he has no plans to retire from touring.

Englebert Humperdinck flew to the UK this week to celebrate his 70th Birthday with friends and family in his home town of Leicester. He arrived directly from Las Vegas, where he was performing at the weekend, and says he has no intention to retire from his 120 date a year touring schedule at any time soon.

The singer says: "I have no concept of time. I'm really excited about what lies ahead. I'm sure there's going to be a sequel to my autobiography, I look at people who have turned 70 and I think I don't feel that way. I mean, I still dance around on stage and my voice is still strong and everyone in the audience is still screaming. Some artists might say it's exhausting. I say it's nothing, a spit in the ocean. I love my job."
