Anastacia "Resurrection" Tour

Pop singer Anastacia will perform two concerts in New Zealand next year, her first ever visit to the country.

New Zealand fans have had a long wait to see the pop star in concert, her breakthrough hit 'I'm Outta Love' was released nealry 15 years ago in 2000, and was the highest selling single in the country that same year.

Since then Anastacia has released six studio albums, selling over 30 million copies, and produced hits such as 'Paid My Dues', 'Left Outside Alone' and 'Pieces of a Dream'.

The singer has also had a lengthy battle of breast cancer, which has been widely publicised. Her sixth album 'Resurrection' was largely written in the months of rehab following a double masectamy last year. She says writing this album was her opportunity to share her experiences and turn them into words of encouragement.
