Elvis Costello Biography Flash a weekly Biography.

Elvis Costello remains a restless creative force, staying at the forefront of both music headlines and fan excitement as we move deeper into September 2025. The next major development is the approaching “Radio Soul!: The Early Songs of Elvis Costello” tour, which sees Costello and The Imposters—joined by guitarist Charlie Sexton—headlining venues like the Akron Civic Theatre on September 27 and Borgata Event Center in Atlantic City on September 19. According to details from both the Akron Civic and Live Nation event listings, this tour is anything but a greatest hits replay—it’s a showcase dedicated to the period from 1977’s “My Aim Is True” through 1986’s “Blood & Chocolate,” mixing classics like Watching The Detectives and Alison with deeper cuts and the promise of surprises from Costello’s capacious catalog.

Costello personally commented on the decision to spotlight this era, emphasizing that “You can expect the unexpected and the faithful in equal measure”—reminding audiences that The Imposters are “nobody’s tribute band,” but a dynamic and evolving group that includes original bandmates Steve Nieve and Pete Thomas, as well as Davey Faragher and Sexton. Recent reviews, highlighted by Nashville Scene in January, describe Costello as “an indefatigable force of nature, and one of the greatest showmen in the history of rock n roll.” Riverfront Times also noted that the band “laid the crowd to waste” earlier this year, reaffirming Costello’s stature on stage.

Hot on the heels of these tour dates comes the anticipated fall 2024 release of “King Of America & Other Realms,” a 6-CD anthology that delves into the story behind Costello’s landmark 1986 album “King Of America” and its musical legacy. The anthology and thematic tour reprisal seem poised to add another significant chapter to Costello’s biography, connecting early legacies with new inspirations for both new and longtime fans.

On the personal front, media like Watershed Newszone continue to revisit and celebrate Costello’s enduring marriage with jazz pianist Diana Krall, underscoring the couple’s mutual artistry and unique partnership as source of public fascination.

As for fresh music, September 11 saw the release of “Hey Clockface/How Can You Face Me?”—the fourth advance track from the album “Hey Clockface”—adding more depth to Costello’s current creative arc, as reported on his official website.

No major controversies or unconfirmed rumors have surfaced in the last 24 hours. Costello’s verified social media accounts are actively promoting the upcoming tour stops and recent releases, engaging directly with fans and driving anticipation for what looks to be a period of renewed live performance energy and archival reflection.
