He will kick off the tour in Glasgow, Scotland on April 8 before travelling to Newcastle, Birmingham, Manchester and Brighton and ending with a show at the iconic Bush Hall in London on April 15.

Writing on Twitter, he revealed the exciting news to his 1.6 million followers.

He said: ''I couldn't wait to share some tracks off my debut album with you and there isn't a better way of doing that than LIVE!!! (sic)''
