CANCELED - Rod Stewart with special guest Richard Marx

Richard Marx

Richard Marx is a Grammy-winning singer, songwriter and producer whose career has spanned four decades of chart success and creative reinvention. With over 45 million albums sold, one billion streams and 14 No. 1 singles to his name, Marx remains one of the most enduring and versatile talents in modern music. He is the only male artist in history to have his first seven singles reach the Top 5 on the Billboard charts, and one of only two artists – alongside Michael Jackson – to write a No. 1 song in four different decades. Marx’s hits as a performer, including “Right Here Waiting,” “Hazard,” “Hold On to the Nights” and “Satisfied,” have become timeless staples. Behind the scenes, his songwriting and production credits include career-defining tracks for Luther Vandross (the Grammy-winning “Dance with My Father”), Keith Urban, NSYNC, Barbra Streisand, Kenny Rogers and many others. A bestselling author, Marx released his memoir “Stories to Tell” in 2020, followed by his critically acclaimed 2023 album “Songwriter,” a genre-spanning collection featuring collaborations with both legacy artists and rising stars. In 2024, he headlined a sold-out show at London's Royal Albert Hall and continues to tour internationally. 2026 will bring a brand-new album in a different direction from Marx’s previous catalog. “After Hours” consists of an even mixture of standards from the Great American Songbook and new original songs written in the same retro vein. Quite uniquely, the album was recorded entirely live with 24 musicians and consists of all complete takes. Marx performed the album’s lead single, “Magic Hour,” on the 2025 season finale of the Australian “Dancing With the Stars” and, alongside Hugh Jackman, performed another of the album’s songs, “Big Band Boogie,” at three shows from Jackman’s sold-out Radio City residency. This year, Marx also joined “The Voice” Australia as a coach alongside Melanie C (aka Sporty Spice), Ronan Keating and Kate Miller-Heidke. Marx is currently developing a slate of TV and digital projects, including the current companion podcast and video series “Stories to Tell.”
