Popular American singer and songwriter Michael Bolton electrified Baku public at the Heydar Aliyev Center on April 19.

"I am very pleased to perform for the first time on this beautiful scene in Baku. Heydar Aliyev Center is a very beautiful place! This is our first concert in Azerbaijan, and we loved it. Fantastic city, people treat us very warm," he said.

"Thank you for coming! We ask you to make a noise as loud as possible tonight. Today you can make noise as many as you want!" Michael Bolton said at the beginning of the fantastic music evening.

Throughout the evening, he talked to the audience, joked and gave people some unforgettable moments of the stunning show. The audience in turn sang, applauded and some even danced all the night.

Touching singers Amanda Brown and Kelly Bevett also performed at the concert in duet with Bolton and solo.

Accompanied by his ensemble, Michael Bolton performed his new songs and such hits as "The Best of Love", "Murder My Heart", "When a Man Loves a Woman".

He also shared his feelings after the concert, saying that the concert was held at the highest level. Bolton expressed gratitude to Baku audience and especially marked the concert hall for its unbelievable beauty.

Before the concert, he has also enjoyed sunny day in the city and shared photo taken in the Old city.

"I chose this angle in which historic houses of the Old City are matching with the Flame Towers on the background. I was surprised with this unique view! This, in my view, shows the harmony of the ancient and modern Azerbaijan," he said.

Bolton, noted for his distinctive tenor/countertenor vocal style, is best known for his series of soft rock ballads, recorded after a stylistic change in the late 1980s.

His achievements include recording eight top 10 albums and two number one singles on the Billboard charts, as well as winning multiple American Music Awards and Grammy Awards.
