A 90s rock icon has barely aged a day as she is set to return to stage with her legendary band for a brand new, exciting UK tour.
Sonya Madan, 56, who fronts Echobelly, hasn’t changed an inch since they released their hit music three decades ago.
For the first time in seven years, the group are back on tour with a brand new soon to be released album.
Touring alongside guitarist and fellow songwriter Glenn Johnasson, they will hold 11 dates across the country next month.
Echobelly is renowned for their album On, featuring hits like King of the Kerb and Great Things.

In January, Sonya teased fans with upcoming music as she shared a snap in the studio on X, formerly known as Twitter.
She captioned the post: ‘Album is mixed. Next step mastering.
‘Photo of us hanging in studio while Chopper makes bass magic.’
Past members of Echobelly include Andy Henderson and Alex Keyser.
As well as their tour, Echobelly are making an appearance at Readipop Festival 2024 in July.
In 2021, Sonya reflected on the time Echobelly was nearly signed by Madonna, who was a huge fan of their music at the time.
Speaking to LouderSound at the time, she said: ‘When I think about it now, it’s probably more exciting than it was at the time, because then I kind of just went with the flow, it all seemed to happen naturally.
‘I didn’t grow up being a music aficionado or obsessed with it, so for me it was almost like a slightly out of body experience, kind of aware of it all happening.’

Explaining how they nearly joined forces with queen of pop, Sonya added: ‘Madonna was trying to sign us, but we’d just signed a deal with Sony so it was impossible.
‘But she referred to me in a tabloid as a real “star”, which was something rather moving coming from someone like her because whatever you think of her, she is a star.’
Echobelly’s released their latest hits Anarchy and Alchemy in 2017.
