Justin Hayward OBE, the vocalist, lead guitarist and composer for the iconic Moody Blues, has had hits including the masterful Nights in White Satin, Tuesday Afternoon, Question, and The Voice. The Moody Blues sold 70 million albums worldwide, with 18 platinum and gold LPs. They were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2018.
The tour is named for one of Justin’s many compositions for The Moody Blues, which was released as a single 55 years ago and featured on the band’s seventh album Every Good Boy Deserves Favour - also released in 1971. The album reached No. 1 on the UK album chart and stayed at No. 2 for three weeks in the US.
The Story In Your Eyes Tour represents a rare chance for Justin’s fans to connect with one of music’s keenest talents and to hear the music that he loves, presented with a truly personal touch.
Justin has also had an incredible solo career with albums such as Songwriter, Night Flight, Moving Mountains and Classic Blue with Mike Batt, and The View From the Hill. He hit the Top Ten globally in 1978 with Forever Autumn – created for Jeff Wayne’s War of the Worlds, starring in its spectacular live production.
His Spirits Of The Western Sky (2013) was followed by DVD Spirits…Live, which reached No. 1 on the Billboard Video chart. All The Way followed - a compilation of solo work and live cuts. In 2020, Justin took to YouTube for the Tuesday Afternoon Video Series: this led to the digital album Tuesday Afternoons: The Audio Files. In 2021 he released One Summer Day and My Juliette, and Living For Love in 2022. In 2025 he released Life In A Northern Town with Mike Batt.
