Having never been to the Warwick area before the 40-year-old singer is looking forward to coming somewhere new. He said: "I am really looking forward to coming to Warwick I don't know the area very well and I get to be outside so its a double bonus for me.

"It is great to go to a place that you haven't been before. The great thing about my job is that I get to go all over the UK. If I was doing a nine-to-five job in an office I wouldn't be able to get out and about as much.

"I love it and I get to meet people from all over the country and I find a lot of pockets of beauty all over the UK and I love that."

When asked about being the headliner Will said: "I haven't really thought much about being the headline act. I didn't know that I was going to be the headliner. When I was asked I just said 'brilliant' because I get to be back on stage with a band who put on a good show and that's all we care about.

"We will have a laugh which means the audience will also have a laugh and it's going to be really good fun."

As well as launching a new album, Will Young will also be embarking on a 21-date UK tour, including a concert on October 4 at Birmingham Symphony Hall.

"I will be doing a couple of new songs and also some of the older ones. It is always fun being able to choose the songs because as i get older I have more of a back catalogue - I can sing Evergreen and then a new song from two months ago."
