The lyric change

In the new anniversary-session performance, Young changes the chorus reference from a girl to a boy. The performance arrives 25 years after the song's release and after Young publicly came out shortly after winning Pop Idol.

The tour

The Evergreen 25th Anniversary Tour comprises 16 UK dates from Manchester on February 20 to Cardiff on March 13, 2027. The set is expected to place Evergreen alongside later singles including Leave Right Now and Jealousy.

The sale date

Attitude says general tickets go on sale at 10 a.m. BST on October 2 through Young's official website. That sale time is distinct from the February and March performance dates.
