Music fans the world over were shocked last year to learn of Sharon Jones battle with cancer. Almost a year later, Jones is back to wellness and ready to hit the road in support of her most recent album with The Dap-Kings, Give The People What They Want. “My fans are what kept me fighting, and kept me focussed on getting better,” Jones says. “Everything I love can be summed up by the moment I get on stage, and start giving the people what they want. That’s real love. That’s real music.” Jones and band are returning to Australia, and will perform on Monday-Tuesday, September 8-9, at the Astor Theatre, with support from The Bombay Royale and Saun & Starr. Tickets go on sale this Friday, July 4, from Showticketing.com.au.
