Dave Stewart to tour with orchestra

Dave Stewart is to embark on a North American tour in August 2008 complete with a 30-piece orchestra.

Stewart is to perform songs from his vast back-catalogue of works which includes a multitude of hits from his time as one half of the Eurythmics.

The tour will co-incide with the release of an album with the full orchestra containing re-workings of some of Stewart's best loved songs.
