You’d be “Crazy” to miss this one.
From April 25 through June 12, R&B legend Seal will celebrate the 30th anniversary of his first and second albums — “Seal” and “Seal II” released in 1991 and 1994 — by taking all of his greatest hits on a 25-concert tour.
That includes huge gigs at Philadelphia’s Met on May 11 and New York City’s Beacon Theatre on May 23.
Those records include hits like “Kiss From A Rose” and “Crazy” as well as underrated deep cut classics like the soulful “Deep Water,” the propulsive “Future Love Paradise,” the smooth “Bring It On” and the ballad “If I Could.”
This run of shows, Seal’s first official trek since 2018-19’s international “The Standards Tour,” promises something different from your standard tour too.
In an Instagram post, Seal shared that he’s bringing along his original musical director Trevor Horn who will ensure fans can relive the sound they know and love.
On top of that, The Buggles will tour with Seal as well as one or two as yet unnamed special guests.
And if you want tickets, you can grab yours as soon as today.

Seal new music
Although Seal hasn’t released a proper album since 2017’s “Standards,” he has steadily put out singles, remixes, remasters and Christmas songs over the past few years.
If you want to hear everything he’s been working on, take a peek at Seal’s Spotify account to explore.
Seal opening act
While we’re not quite sure who the “special guests” Seal teased are, we can confirm that The Buggles will open for Seal.
The Buggles, who you might know for their massive hit “Video Killed The Radio Star,” also happen to be Trevor Horn’s band.
This run of shows will be the band’s first since 2011 according to Setlist.FM.
