Paul Heaton tour 2026

Brett said:
Beautiful south split years ago, there is a band with some of the members called the south.

Paul played with Jacqui Abbott for a few years but she sadly has had to take a step back from music for unknown reasons and we all hope she is ok

Saw the South at South Shields a few years back, the lead singer at the time (not lad who was in the band with Paul H) was not a singer, dreadful and I apologise for dissing him but not what I expected 🤷‍♂️

Every venue is a bloody arena unfortunately. I did expect that to be the case after his last tour sold so well but it means Liverpool or the Co-op for me and it will be gigs on three nights in the bounce with either option.

We went to the Co-op for James and it's shite. It's in the middle of nowhere (next to the Etihad) and the acoustics were garbage

She left the Beautiful South 26 year ago to look after her son. She rejoined Heaton in 2013 to resume her career, then left around 2 year ago for unspecified medical reasons(throat)

The reason Jacqui is currently not performing is near the end of this article from the horse's mouth.

I don't believe she is "ill" either, but she obviously isn't up to the rigours of recording and touring.
"While fans initially worried about severe health issues, Paul Heaton clarified that Abbott is not chronically ill"
As an aside, JA's son isn't a child anymore. He's a thirty year old man. I'm aware this still presents it's own set of problems and it's totally understandable why she stepped away when he was a 4yo.
