Written by on 14th June 2021

Engelbert Humperdinck says he is “thrilled” and “touched” after being awarded an MBE in the Queen’s Birthday Honours list.

The 85-year-old crooner from Great Glen is to receive the honour for “services to music”.

In a statement, Mr Humperdinck said he was happy to be back home after a long year, and paid tribute to his fans and family for their support.

“I know my parents and my wife, Patricia, would have been elated and proud of me and my MBE.

“It is said that it takes a village to raise a child, and in my books, it takes a country to launch a singer. That is what it felt like for me.

“That support is a constant in my memory and I hope that I have served my country well as an ambassador through music worldwide.”
