In 1974, Haig was invited to tour Europe by Tony Williams, owner of [[Spotlite Records]] in the United Kingdom. At the end of a very successful tour he recorded the ''Invitation'' album for Spotlite with Bibi Rovère on bass and [[Kenny Clarke]] on drums. This kick-started his re-emergence and, over the next eight years, he built a strong following in Europe and toured several times, recording in the UK and France, and appearing elsewhere. He also recorded for several Japanese labels.
 
Haig died from a heart attack on November 16, 1982, and was survived by his wife Joanne and his sons Alan and Daniel. <ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.nytimes.com/1982/11/17/obituaries/al-haig-58-dead-early-pop-pianist.html |title=Al Haig, 58, Dead; Early Bop Pianist |first=C.
