The Hollies: Since 2000

The Hollies still tour with two original members, Hicks and Elliott. After Clarke's retirement in 1999, he was replaced by Carl Wayne, former lead singer of The Move. A New Zealand "Hollies Greatest Hits" compilation made Number One in that country in 2001, dislodging The Beatles' "One" Collection from the top spot. While re-establishing the band as a touring attraction over 2000 to mid-2004, Carl Wayne, however, only recorded one song with them, "How Do I Survive?", the last (and only new) track on the 2003 Greatest Hits (which reached no. 21 in the UK Album chart). After Wayne's shock death from cancer in August 2004, he was replaced by Peter Howarth. The Hollies' first new studio album since 1983, Staying Power, was released in 2006.

The group released their new studio album Then, Now, Always, in late March 2009, featuring Peter Howarth on lead vocals.

Hollies Tickets are available at Sold Out Ticket Market at nominal rates.
