Stevie dropped the classics and raised the roof... eventually!

Stevie Wonder was born Steveland Hardaway Judkins in 1950. By 7 years old he had mastered the piano and by 9 he was a star on the harmonica and drums!... Throw in a bit of Gospel and a healthy spoonful of funk and soul and the rest, as they say - is history!

A packed O2 was treated to over 2.5 hours of Stevie at his best. Trippy instrumental journeys and vintage bangers filled the fantastic arena as the set slowly built to a quick fire juke box of all-time classics. Great track after great track got the crowd rocking and by the time 'superstitious' joined the party there was no mistaking that this was indeed Stevie at his most WONDERFUL!... (apart from the times when he was actually a bit... let's say self indulgent)...
