Time to Say Goodbye takes the audience on a wonderful journey through his incredible career with never-before-seen-photos, testimonies and tributes, all set to the tune of some of Alex's most beloved songs from his legendary catalogue including “Criticize,” “Fake” and “If You Were Here Tonight.” Accompanied by his exemplary 9-piece live band, there won’t be a dry eye in the house as audiences come together to celebrate the legacy of Alexander O’Neal.

Boasting a soulful yet tough voice noted to have the same grain and range as that of Otis Redding, Alexander O'Neal is comfortable with pumping dancefloor burners and slinky couch-cuddlers. The strength of his material and his robust vocals can be heard on his many chart-topping releases including 1985’s eponymous debut Alexander O'Neal, 1987's smash hit album Hearsay, 1991's All True Man, and 1998's Lovers Again.

Featuring special guest Candace Woodson, the answer to those who long for nostalgic and soulful R&B and jazz music. Candace is an Indie Soul Grammy winner (2019) and a UK Soul Chart Top 100 of 2021 recipient for the #1 song, Midas Touch. Candace performed with Alex across the UK on the Giants of Soul Tour in 2022 - she is back onstage saying her own farewell to him.
