Grammy award-winner Julio Iglesias is performing for three nights only at the Hilton Theater inside the Las Vegas Hilton on June 10, 11 and 12 at 8 p.m. Tickets range from $59 to $119 plus tax and fees and go on sale Thursday, April 15.

Iglesias got his start in 1968 at the Benidorm Music Festival with a performance of his original song “La Vida Sigue Igual,” which landed him first prize and a record contract with an independent label. During the ’70s, he toured Europe and Latin America, gaining a large fan base with hits such as “Un Canto A Galicia” and “Manuela.” Toward the end of the decade, Iglesias signed a contract with CBS International and began to record in Italian and French in addition to Spanish. Soon after, Iglesias began recording in English and in 1981 his cover of “Begin the Beguine” became a No. 1 hit. His success continued throughout the decade and he won a Grammy for Best Latin Pop Album in 1988 for the album Un Hombre Solo. In 1998, Iglesias’s album Tango was nominated for Best Latin Pop Album at the Grammys and won the World Music Award.

Iglesias’ popularity has continued to grow throughout the four decades he has been recording music. He has sold more than 300 million copies of his 79 albums released worldwide, including original versions in various languages, compilations and live albums, making him the Spanish-speaking artist who has sold the most albums in history. Just this month, Iglesias received a Lifetime Achievement award from Sony Music Entertainment Malaysia, for his extraordinary 42-year career. His current “Starry Night” Tour, named after his third English album, is taking him to five different continents where classic songs like “Hey!,” “Me Olvidé de Vivir,” “Lo Mejor de tu Vida,” “Abrázame,” and “Crazy” touch the hearts of millions of fans no matter what language they speak.
