69 years after his debut single smashed charts and catapulted him to musicsuccess, Paul Anka is headed back out on the road.
While the now-84-year-old was just a teen when his 1957 hit, "Diana," was released, the legendary pop-rock-and-roll singer-songwriter is proving that age has nothing on his ability to perform his timeless catalog, even after all these years.
Taking to social media on Tuesday, Jan. 27, Anka announced a new set of concert dates, sharing that he's extending his A Man and His Music Tour through spring 2026. "I hope you'll join me," the iconic star teased of the second leg of the musical series. "I can't wait!"
The digital flyer showcased stops scheduled across multiple U.S. cities from March 4 to May 24, including Sarasota, Fla., Washington, D.C., Atlantic City, N. J., Las Vegas, Nev., San Diego, Calif., and more. The "Put Your Head on My Shoulder" crooner is also set to hit Orillia and Windsor, Ontario, Canada, on April 10 and 11. Tickets are available online now, according to the post.

Paul Anka's Early Career Success
Paul Anka’s early music success came quickly once he stepped onto the professional stage. Although he recorded his first single, “I Confess,” at age 14, his breakthrough came in 1957 when he moved to New York and auditioned for ABC-Paramount Records with a love song he’d written called “Diana.” That song became a global smash for the 16-year-old, hitting No. 1 on both the Canadian and U.S. music charts and selling millions of copies, instantly making him a teen idol.
Over the next few years he followed up with several other charting singles—such as “You Are My Destiny,” “It’s Time to Cry,” and “(All of a Sudden) My Heart Sings”—all helping to establish his popularity among young audiences in the late 1950s.
Among Anka’s biggest hits in his early career were “Lonely Boy,” which topped the Billboard Hot 100, and romantic classics like “Put Your Head on My Shoulder” and “Puppy Love,” which became staples of late-50s and early-60s pop music. These songs solidified his status as one of the era’s most successful young performers and showcased his knack for writing memorable melodies that resonated with fans around the world.
