PETER Andre, the Aussie on a bigger comeback than a boomerang, opens his summer tour on Monday.

Date number four will be at the Futurist Theatre in Scarborough on Thursday, one of 17 shows on his June and July schedule. Ten have sold out, but not Scarborough, where tickets for Andre's only Yorkshire concert remain on sale on 01723 365789.

Pectoral Pete has revived his career on the back of I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here, and on the front of bosom pal Jordan, and his tour coincides with this week's release of The Long Road Back, his fourth album.

Not surprisingly, the album capitalises on the resurgence of Mysterious Girl, his first chart success since Kiss The Girl in July 1998. Sprung from the Celebrity jungle, Andre linked up with Warner Music to rush out a repackage of his number two hit from 1996 and it duly re-entered the British charts this spring at number one.

Two versions, Mysterious Girl and the self-explanatory Mysterious Girl 2004, rub shoulders with 11 other tracks on The Long Road Back. Ten are previously unreleased, including latest single Insania, and the 11th is a cover of Kool And The Gang's Ooh La La (Let's Go Dancin'), here re-titled Let's Go Dancin' (Ooh La La La).

Further titles from the Andre book of song co-writing include Never Gonna Give You Up, All Cried Out, World Of Her Own and Untouchable. The album title, however, is a comment on his Lazarus-style return rather than a lift from a song.
