Wish You Were Here is the twelfth studio album from Australian vocal group The Ten Tenors, released in April 2017. The album is a "homage" to many great artists who have deceased. The Ten Tenors say "This isn’t intended to be sombre, rather a celebration of the happiness these people brought to the world. Put simply, to all the lost artists, we wish you were here".[1] In an interview with Today show on 10 April, the band say it was inspired by David Bowie's death.[2]

The album was promoted with a national tour across August 2017 [3] and peaked at number 18 on the ARIA Charts.
