While Mick Jagger and Keith Richards continue to debate if the Rolling Stones will head out on tour one more time, one singer is preparing to hit the road at 90.

Engelbert Humperdinck will head out on a world tour later this summer in support of his new album, Faithfully, out August 28 on Cleopatra Records.
Age Is Nothing But a Number to Englebert Humperdinck
The "Spanish Eyes" singer's latest album is his take on classic rock hits. In addition to covers of Journey, Ozzy Osbourne, KISS, and Aerosmith, Humperdinck has included the original "Always My Love."
To bring these songs to life, a team of extraordinary musicians was assembled. They include Journey's Jonathan Cain, Yes keyboardist Rick Wakeman, and Jethro Tull's Ian Anderson.
"I am so grateful for my good friends Brian Perera and Tim Yasui of Cleopatra Records for coming up with the fantastic idea of this album and the music videos we did for it," Humperdinck said in a statement. "And I am really honored by all of the incredible, renowned musicians who joined on the tracks. And not, by any means last, I want to thank my producers, Adam Hamilton and Pete Mills, plus our mixing engineer Jurgen Engler, for the tireless hours that went into this production."
Humperdinck Is Also a Harley Man
In the album's first video, a cover of "Drive" by The Cars, Humperdinck (or someone resembling him) is seen riding a motorcycle down the open road. That fits with the singer's life as an avid rider, which he shared in a social media post last year.
"My Harley was on my mind," he said. "It's been too long since I was out on the open road. I need to get a gadget to strap my phone to my chest so you can come along with me. I used to love riding with my friends along PCH. Wonderful memories that are so strong that I can appreciate, feel the ocean breeze, and smell the salty air."
Humperdinck's tour kicks off in Germany in August. You can check out his full list of tour dates here.
