Simon Cowell says it ‘could be life-changing’ as he sends a message to Liverpool

Simon Cowell shared an interesting message with ECHO readers in Liverpool.

The 64-year-old is renowned for his incredible eye for talent, having launched the careers of acts such as One Direction, Little Mix and Leona Lewis. He’s now looking for the next big thing as he conducts a nationwide search for a new boy band.

The Britain’s Got Talent judge is traveling to three UK cities to find the next big thing, and Liverpool is one of them. Simon is coming to Merseyside on July 6 and 7 and applications are open for talented 16-18 year olds to audition as he aims to find the next superstar.

In a message shared with the ECHO, he said: “Hello Liverpool, the ECHO and all your readers. I’m Simon Cowell here. I can’t wait to visit Liverpool on Saturday 6th and Sunday 7th July for my new boy band auditions.

“Liverpool has obviously been the most amazing place for musical talent, which is why we come here. So if you or someone you know could be the next superstar, please audition now at SimonNeedsYou.com.

“This could be life changing and I hope to see you there. Or just show up.” Simon is hoping to go back to basics with his latest search as the audition process will not be in front of a crowd.

However, it is being filmed and could form the basis of a new documentary series. To be eligible, you must be around 16 – 18 years old.

Applicants must submit over two videos of themselves singing acapella without backing tracks that must have been recorded within the last two months. You can find full details on how to apply here
