n 2007, Chris de Burgh was asked to record his song The Words ‘I Love You’ with an Iranian group; The Arian Band. This was the first time there had been a collaboration between a Western artist and an Iranian group since the Islamic Revolution of 1979, and the song was released in 2008, becoming a major hit.
Subsequent to the release, Chris visited Tehran to explore the idea of a series of concerts in Iran, and he and his team were extremely impressed by the encouragement and support from the Iranians that they encountered. However, the dramatic and repressive changes since the elections of 2009 made it impossible for Chris de Burgh and his Management to even consider such a project, for the foreseeable future.
