Released in 2005, How to Save a Life became a defining album of the 2000s, earning critical acclaim and producing chart-topping singles like “Over My Head (Cable Car)” and the 5X Platinum title track. Reaching the top spot on the Billboard 200 Chart, the album’s deeply personal lyrics and emotive sound resonated with fans worldwide, cementing The Fray as a household name. Two decades later, the music continues to inspire and connect generations.
“We wrote songs in our parents’ basements and our grandpa’s barn, dreaming of playing our music with the world one day. We never imagined that the songs from How to Save a Life would still hold new meaning 20 years later,” said lead vocalist Joe King. “It’s an incredible honor to celebrate the album’s 20th anniversary on tour this summer. We can’t wait to perform these songs and share their stories with you. Come sing with us—we’ll see you soon!”
The Fray, consisting of King, longtime guitarist Dave Welsh, and drummer Ben Wysocki, will kick off How to Save a Life: The 20th Anniversary Tour on July 25 in Dallas, TX. The tour will stop in major cities like New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, and Nashville before concluding internationally in Dublin on November 22nd.
About The Fray:
Following a triumphant return in 2024 after a decade-long hiatus, this is a new chapter for the multi-Platinum-selling band The Fray, with vocalist, guitarist, and primary songwriter Joe King taking over lead vocals alongside longtime guitarist Dave Welsh and drummer Ben Wysocki. This summer, The Fray will launch their How to Save a Life: The 20th Anniversary Tour in July, celebrating the milestone of their iconic debut album.
When the Colorado-bred group first emerged in the early 2000s, The Fray introduced the world to a deeply emotional, alt-rock sound—timeless yet inventive, arena-sized yet profoundly intimate. Over the years, their soul-searching songwriting and dynamic sound earned them four GRAMMY Award nominations, three Billboard Music Awards, multiple Billboard Top 10 hits, and a devoted global fanbase.
Their breakout single, ‘How To Save A Life,’ spent an incredible 58 weeks on the Billboard Hot 100 and became the unofficial anthem of ABC’s Emmy-winning show Grey’s Anatomy. Rolling Stone praised their “stick-in-your-head hooks and eloquent narratives,” while the Los Angeles Times called their music “melodically rich.” Their 2005 debut full length project, How To Save A Life, is RIAA-certified 4x Platinum in the U.S. and remains one of the best-selling digital debuts of all time. The band is working on new music to come later this year
