This year, the band will surpass a staggering $20 million donated to charity, a testament to their ongoing commitment to philanthropy. This generosity is fueled by their tradition of donating at least $1 from every ticket sold. That means with their 20 millionth fan attending a show on this tour, TSO will be hitting not just a concert attendance record, but a charitable milestone as well.<\/p>\n<p>TSO&#8217;s music director and lead guitarist, Al Pitrelli said, \u201cWhen I was working on\u00a0<em>Lost Christmas Eve<\/em>with Paul O&#8217;Neill, we talked a lot about time. He said that losing money or things wasn&#8217;t as bad as losing time. Material losses can be recovered, but you can never get time back. That&#8217;s why he always thought it was never too late to change. Never too late for forgiveness. People can make things right, forgive each other, and reconnect.\u00a0<em>The Lost Christmas Eve<\/em>\u00a0is about that hope: it&#8217;s never too late for any of us.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>This year&#8217;s tour marks the grand return of &#8220;THE LOST CHRISTMAS EVE&#8221; to the stage for the first time since 2013. Expect an all-new, dazzling spectacle packed with pyrotechnics, lasers, and the incredible storytelling synonymous with TSO. The celebration continues with a high-energy second set featuring the group&#8217;s greatest hits and fan favorites.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;THE LOST CHRISTMAS EVE&#8221; is a product of the imagination of and based on TSO\u2019s double-platinum CD of the same name. The plot is one that resonates with people deeply over the holiday season. Alone on Christmas Eve, a bitter old businessman wandered New York City. Once a rising star, he\u2019d traded love, family, and joy for a life of solitude and regret. The tragic loss of his wife hardened his heart, pushing him away from his infant son and into decades of isolation. Then, a chance encounter with a mysterious girl led him to a life-altering phone call. His son, who he abandoned decades ago, was alive, a gentle soul caring for troubled newborns in a maternity ward. After seeking him out, the son gives a silent and forgiving gaze to his long-lost father. As they sit together, comforting innocent infants, a new reunited life together begins.<\/p>\n<p>For fans who want to take the TSO magic at home, there&#8217;s more good news.
