Charlie Wilson is already an award-winning singer and a passionate advocate for prostate cancer prevention since he overcame the disease some years ago. But Wilson has been supporting another great cause: Rocking the military by performing overseas. Wilson is set to make his fourth trip to Kuwait in three years to put on a show there for U.S. troops.
“I can’t wait to get back and have a real party with our troops,” Wilson said.“It’s an honor to be a part of the welcome-home celebration. We owe them and their families a debt of gratitude for the sacrifices they have made to protect our country.”
Wilson will heat up stages at five U.S. military bases in Kuwait this month, performing classic Gap Band hits, as well as his solo catalog. Wilson’s recent CD “Just Charlie,” included the hits “You Are” and “Life Of the Party.”
“We’re taking Charlie’s full tour to Kuwait to welcome our troops as they return home,” said Michael Paran, Wilson’s manager and CEO of P Music Group. “We spent time with the troops during our last three visits and see how important it is to let them know that we appreciate their service to our country.”
If you know military personnel serving in Kuwait, let them know Uncle Charlie’s on the way. Here are the bases and days that Wilson will perform:
