Eric Burdon has just released a new album and is preparing for a tour
In a time when all manner of bands are kissing and making up, getting back together for lucrative tours and big anniversary shows, you won’t find The Animals hunting in their old pack.
“I don’t think so!” says Eric Burdon, the voice of House Of The Rising Sun and a clutch of other raw, rocking hits that set the world alight in the early Sixties.

Not that he should worry – at the age of 71, and in the year of The Animals’ 50th anniversary, he has made a clean start.
Having overcome years of back problems Burdon is releasing his first album in six years, has formed a new band and is gearing up for a European tour. “I’ve also got a new house
