Almost all pop performers give concerts, moving from one city to another. American singer Wayne Newton does not tour. For several decades, he has been performing on the same stage.
A distant start
According to the tradition that has developed over many decades, actors and singers come to the audience and perform in front of them in a certain place. The opposite often happens, when grateful listeners and fans are ready to rush to the designated point on the map to contemplate their idol. The famous American singer and actor White Newton was born on April 3, 1942 into a poor American family. Parents often moved from one place to another. In the first years of his life, a trailer, which was attached to a car, served as a home for the child.
The father did not have a permanent job and was interrupted by odd jobs. In the evenings, after a meager supper, he picked up a banjo and sang old folk songs. Wayne listened to these tunes from a young age and absorbed them, so to speak. It is important to note that the child had perfect pitch. The boy was taught at home not only to handle a musical instrument, but also to read, write and count. At the age of five, he began performing on the street, performing popular songs that he heard on the radio.
On the professional stage
One fine year, the Newton family moved to a city located in the middle of the desert called Las Vegas. In modern guidebooks about this settlement it is said that here you can relax, have fun, experience thrills and other pleasures. In the early 50s, everything was just beginning. As a teenager, Wayne began performing songs, first on the street and then in a restaurant. His voice, ranging from velvet baritone to tenor, sounded mesmerizing.
A few years later, Newton began to be invited to join the respectable city casinos. Visitors came not only to "drain" their money on the game of roulette, but also to listen to the mesmerizing singing. Over time, the artist's creativity received an adequate assessment. The singer went to the top of his success purposefully for many years. In the mid-80s, they began to call him Mr. Las Vegas. The singer's name was entered in the Guinness Book of Records as the highest paid cabaret artist in the world.
Private side of life
The career of a performer who did not have a musical education was successful. Meticulous experts estimate that by the end of the 90s, Newton performed at concerts 25 thousand times. By 2013, the audience that listened to his performances "live" reached forty million people.
Newton starred as an actor in several films. As a guest, he is constantly present on various television shows. There is no reliable data about the singer's personal life, but there is a lot of gossip and speculation. He does not show his wife to anyone and does not give her name.
