The Human Heart Tour was a two-leg concert tour by Filipino singer Lea Salonga. The tour was titled after the Once on This Island song, "The Human Heart."[1] The North American leg of the tour officially began on April 5, 2019 in Costa Mesa, California and ended on May 25, 2019 in Richmond, British Columbia.[2] Salonga then transferred the tour to Europe, beginning performances on July 7, 2019 in Cardiff, Wales and ending on July 21, 2019 in London, England, with a duet including special guest Rachelle Ann Go.[3][4]
The tour was originally intended to launch on February 8, 2019 in Hong Kong, followed by dates in Singapore; however, the Asian leg was cancelled due to a skiing accident in Japan which resulted in Salonga breaking her leg.[5][6][7] The injury also resulted in the rescheduling of the European leg of the summer, which was originally intended to launch on February 26, 2019 in Manchester, England.
