Rick Springfield's 26-date “I Want My '80s Tour” will be criss-crossing the country this summer — featuring such special guests at assorted dates as the Hooters, Paul Young, Tommy Tutone, and the Tubes. Springfield starts the trek off on August 4th in Youngstown, Ohio at The Youngstown Foundation and winds things down on September 17th in Fresno, California at Warnors Theatre.
Rick Springfield told us that it's the love, interest, and support from both his female and male fans that keep him honest and progressing musically and emotionally: “I write what I like and that's why the music always comes from a male perspective because I am, y'know? But some of the image stuff. . . I mean I always resisted all the teen stuff, but they still printed stuff anyway back in the '80s and I had to deal with it. But I always played and wrote what I wanted to — that I thought was good stuff, which is why I still have male fans. And the male fan base is actually growing, because I've always written, I think, with a degree of integrity and not a sell-out vibe at all.”
