Leona Lewis kicked off her first ever headline tour in Liverpool’s Echo Arena at the start of June, with a £5 million budget to spend and a lavish Labyrinth-themed stage show to blow it on.
Set designers including Kylie Minogue’s main man William Baker – using David Bowie’s 1986 fantasy adventure as ample inspiration – produced a lavish backdrop for Leona, who performed her hits ‘Bleeding Love’ and ‘Happy’ amongst others in an equally vamped-up costume. Despite wearing some pretty sexy hoods and thigh-high leather boots, Leona maintains she will never be as sexed-up on stage as Rihanna or Lady Gaga.
Speaking of the new tour – which has received mainly positive reviews so far – Leona has said:
“I’ve been so excited about this tour. I get to unleash my childhood fantasies and be a princess.”
