Breaking News: Roger Hodgson Shocks the World with New Album and Tour Dates – The Return of Supertramp Legend…

 

In a stunning announcement that has electrified the global music community, Roger Hodgson, the legendary co-founder and voice of Supertramp, has revealed plans for a brand-new solo album and an international tour—his first in nearly a decade. The news, which broke early this morning, comes as a complete surprise to fans who had long speculated that Hodgson had quietly stepped back from the spotlight.

 

Titled *”Echoes of the Heart,”* the album is set for release this fall and is being described as a deeply personal project that blends Hodgson’s signature melodic storytelling with a modern sonic twist. According to sources close to the production, the album features 12 original tracks that touch on themes of reflection, love, loss, and hope—hallmarks of Hodgson’s lyrical style that first captivated audiences in the 1970s.

 

“Music has always been my way of connecting with people’s hearts,” Hodgson said in a statement posted to his official website. “After the last few years of uncertainty, I felt it was time to bring something new into the world—something that brings comfort and joy. This album is that offering.”

 

Best known as the creative force behind Supertramp’s most beloved hits—including “Give a Little Bit,” “The Logical Song,” “Dreamer,” and “Take the Long Way Home”—Hodgson’s return is being heralded as one of the most anticipated comebacks in classic rock history. Since leaving Supertramp in 1983, Hodgson has maintained a devoted fan base through sporadic solo tours and live recordings, but this marks his first studio album of new material since 2000’s *Open the Door*.

 

In addition to the album, Hodgson has announced a 2025 world tour that will kick off in Europe next March before heading to North America, South America, and select cities in Asia. The tour, aptly named *“Echoes Live,”* will feature songs from the new record alongside reimagined versions of Supertramp classics. Longtime collaborator Aaron MacDonald will return on saxophone and keyboards, with a full band lineup to be revealed in the coming weeks.

 

Fans and fellow musicians alike have taken to social media to express their excitement and admiration. “Roger Hodgson is one of the true poets of rock,” tweeted one fan. “His voice is timeless, and his music has shaped generations. This is the best news of the year.”

 

Tickets for the *Echoes Live* tour are expected to go on sale next month, with pre-sale options available for members of Hodgson’s official fan club. In the meantime, a teaser for the first single, “Where the Light Lives,” has already sparked buzz online, featuring a 30-second clip that captures Hodgson’s unmistakable vocals and heartfelt instrumentation.

 

As the music world prepares for the return of a true legend, one thing is clear: Roger Hodgson’s voice and vision remain as powerful and relevant as ever. For fans of Supertramp and newcomers alike, 2025 is shaping up to be a remarkable year.
