    Goodbyes don't come much sweeter than when they're shared with an army of friends beneath a canopy of songs that shine like stars.

    Which is why you've got to make sure you're at the last ever Delirious? gigs . With some friends. Ready to roll up your sleeves the next day and carry on with fresh historymaking passion.

    Across six UK and five mainland Europe dates the band will be joining the dots between past, present and future. What does that mean? Glorious worship, inspirational anthems and the sense of all of it fitting into a far bigger picture.

    Bristol, Leeds, London and The Hague have already sold out, but if you're anywhere near Bremen DE, Heilbronn DE, Vienna AT, Wettingen CH, Belfast UK, Edinburgh UK or Birmingham UK you've got no excuse. Get ten of your friends together and we'll even chuck in a free ticket for the UK dates if you book through Gigantic www.gigantic.com.

    All the info you need to book up for an amazing night follows at the end of this email, and remember that right now you can also preorder the band's Greatest Hits album from Purashop. The album gets its release on November 6th and it's rammed with special treats and goodness, so make sure you don't miss out.

    Bye for now

  • Delirious Announce Support Act For Final Tour

    Either there’s been a change of heart or a change of plan within the Delirious camp. Having previously decided that they were going to carry their farewell tour themselves - choosing to perform each night for as long as possible without a support act - all that now seems to have changed. Today Delirious have announced that they will share the stage for their final ever performances around the UK with a band from whom nobody has heard a whisper since 1996. Their name? The Cutting Edge Band.

    Made up of five eccentrically-hairstyled young men, The Cutting Edge Band made a name for itself back in the early nineties, despite only ever playing in sports halls and on village greens. Theirs was a raw, God-drenched message, one that shouted ‘I’m Not Ashamed Of The Gospel’ with undeniable force. Theirs was a delicate form of intimacy, one that talked about singing of God’s love forever, of being found in the river, of obsessions and a sound that was louder than the radio.

    Says Delirious front man Martin Smith, ‘The Cutting Edge Band had something special about it. I remember the days clearly; there would be an atmosphere that you could cut with a knife as those evenings of abandoned worship bled into the night. There was a feeling that anything could happen, and most of the time it did.’

    With tracks like ‘Did You Feel The Mountains Tremble’, ‘Lord You Have My Heart’ and ‘The Crucible For Silver’ – not to mention ‘The Happy Song’ – The Cutting Edge Band built up a reputation as a group who had plenty to say, and a hundred different ways in which to say it.

    But what about returning to the stage after such a long absence? How do they feel about it? Nobody from the band was available for comment, but when pressed Martin did have this to say:

    ‘They’ll be fine. They might be a little rusty and nervous, but if you can get passed the bad hair and the weird clothes you’ll find a band who laid the foundations for everything that Delirious went on to become. Without The Cutting Edge Band, Delirious simply would never have come into being. Having The Cutting Edge Band open for Delirious each night of our farewell tour makes perfect sense: it pays tribute to the past and lays the foundation of upfront worship that we were built on.’

  • you're the ones that are making history.

    All these years I've been singing about being a historymaker, but it's never been me that I'm singing about. It's  always been you... you're the ones that are making history.' Martin

    By now you'll  know that 2009 is the last year that Delirious will be playing, recording and, well, being Delirious at all. Ever. You might know that there's a tour coming up and that it's been given the name HistoryMakers. What you might not have worked out is quite how much you're a part of the plot.

    As the final months play out, we want to spend them as close to you as we can get. We want to know your stories, your journeys, the history you're making.

    Over the years we've heard so many of your stories of faith, love and perseverance and they've always left us inspired and humbled in equal measure. So now we've created a corner here in the Living Room just for you - a blog for you to post your story, your life, your successes and struggles. There are loads of fantastic stories up there already, so you should join in the HistoryMaking right here.

    Also, if you fancy a quick click that will make you smile you should go watch the video and see the band telling you about the tour and how you should be sorting yourself out with your tickets pretty soon (seriously, the London show's already sold 80% of its tickets). But the best bit is watching Jon and Evans. I think we can agree that a future in TV does not beckon...
