Peter Gabriel has just rolled tagged on a dozen new cities to his fall North American tour in support of his upcoming album, I/O. New stops on the books now include shows in Washington, D.C.; Buffalo, New York; Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania; Columbus and Cleveland, Ohio; Milwaukee, Wisconsin; St. Paul, Minnesota; Denver, Colorado; along with a trio of Texas concerts set for Austin, Dallas, and Houston.
Although never released as a single, Peter Gabriel's 1986 haunting duet with Kate Bush, "Don't Give Up," from his So album has proven to have significant meaning for Gabriel over the decades: ["All sorts of people wrote and told me things that — including one or two well-known people — that they had uses it. In one case, somebody's daughters kept him from suicide, and someone else with drugs, and it was a strange lot of stuff coming back. People use music as emotional tools."] SOUNDCUE (:17 OC: . . . as emotional tools)
