After nearly six decades in showbiz, Engelbert Humperdinck says karaoke has kept his music alive “all these years.” The India-born, U.K.-raised singer, who celebrates his 90th birthday on May 2, recently performed more than 60 concerts worldwide in 2025 after realizing he needed to keep singing following his The Last Waltz farewell tour in 2024, and he continues to tour in 2026.
Speaking to Britain’s PA news agency, he said: “Most of my songs are on karaoke because people love to sing them.” That, he added, is what keeps them sounding “as fresh today as they were when I recorded them. … I’m very big with karaoke.”
