Fantastic news for Eric Burdon and War fans: they will be re-united for the first time in 37 years - since they disbanded in 1971. The band will be performing at the prestigious Royal Albert Hall on Monday 21st April 2008 for one very special night of electrifying R&B, funk, Latin and jazz.
The Animals' ex-front man, Eric Burdon is considered to be one of the greatest English blues singers and his contribution to music is immense. By joining forces again with the 70's popular funk group WAR, makes this one-time-only concert an event you cannot miss.

The second album, 'The Black-Man's Burdon' featured the hits 'They Can't Take Away Our Music' and a cover of the Rolling Stones' 'Paint It Black'.
