Delirious? Wraps up Second Tour in India

Popular Christian band Delirious? recently completed its second tour in India, performing outdoors in Bangalore, Mumbai (Bombay) and Pune and visiting children's projects in the slum areas of Mumbai.

The tour featured songs from their current and world-acclaimed DVD-CD, Now Is The Time Live At Willow Creek.

"Another tour, another crowd, another continent, another plane ride. So why does my heart feel like it has been pulled out, turned round and put back a different way round? Why do I feel like life can never be the same again?" asks Delirious? frontman Martin Smith.

As thousands gathered outdoors to worship with Delirious?, the band members began to see their dreams materialise in the middle of rural Indian fields.

"It's still a very strange experience to me that you can show up in a field in India and there is a bunch of people singing our songs and wanting the heavens to open above their city. This is what we sang about 15 years ago," reflects Smith, "that the streets would be filled with singing. I guess I should be getting used to it by now, but I'm still in awe and wonder..."
