NEW YORK, NY (May 7, 2015) – One of music’s most successful couples Pat Benatar and Neil “Spyder” Giraldo head to New York City to promote a music and personal milestone. The couple will be making live appearances, on Tuesday, May 12th, on “CBS This Morning,” the popular Fox News Channel mid-day show “Outnumbered” and CNBC’s “Closing Bell,” to discuss the recent release of the CD/DVD set, Pat Benatar & Neil Giraldo: The 35th Anniversary Tour.
The iconic pair started their professional and personal relationship more than 35 years ago when they collaborated on Benatar’s debut album and have worked together ever since.

The 14-track commemorative package features their greatest and groundbreaking hits including, “Love is a Battlefield,”, “Promises In The Dark,” “We Belong,” “Hit Me With Your Best Shot,” “Shadows of the Night” and “Heartbreaker.”
“Thirty-five years ago, “Heartbreaker” was the catalyst for it all,” says Pat Benatar. “It’s hard to believe that so much time has passed. We’re excited to be celebrating this personal and musical milestone.”
“From the very beginning our chemistry was undeniable,” remarks Neil Giraldo. “And to this day it is the driving force behind everything we do. We feed off each other and it’s been an incredible collaboration from the start.”
Currently the couple is crisscrossing the country, touring in celebration of an impressive 35-year run. The duo has sold over 25-million albums, won four Grammy Awards and three American Music Awards. Together, Benatar and Giraldo, have 19 Top 40 singles and multiple Top 10 singles. Neil Giraldo’s impressive back catalog includes more than 100 songs written, produced, arranged and recorded for Benatar along with hits he helped create for John Waite, Rick Springfield and Kenny Loggins, Steve Forbert, The Del Lords, Beth Hart and countless other artists.
