Coldplay's Chris Martin Bounces Back From Astronomer Kiss-Cam Scandal With Sweet Serenade of Soccer… In a statement shared with fans, Alexakis said, “Because of its success and lasting impact, this band has survived and prospered for three decades, and this tour celebrating Sparkle and Fade is another way of us saying ‘thank you’ to all of the incredible fans — old and new.” Trending on Billboard He continued, “We’re excited to bring this tour to Australia. In addition to all the hits and fan favourites, we’re going to pretty much play the whole album through the course of the show to commemorate this 30th anniversary.” Originally released in 1995, Sparkle and Fade marked Everclear’s major label breakthrough and was certified platinum in the U.S. by the RIAA in 1996. While “Santa Monica” became the band’s breakout anthem, tracks like “Heroin Girl” and “Strawberry” earned a cult following among longtime fans. The latter has taken on new significance for Alexakis, who was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis in 2019. Despite his health challenges, Alexakis has remained active on the road, with one dollar from every Everclear ticket sold donated to organizations including the Sweet Relief Musicians Fund and the National MS Society.
