Will Young has shared this message to his fans:
Following an appointment with my doctor today, I’ve been told that I need to rest because of a throat infection and won’t be able to sing for the rest of the week.
I am really disappointed to say I have to postpone my shows in Sheffield, Lincoln, Leeds, Aberystwyth and Manchester. I am so sorry for any inconvenience this causes you. We are working on rescheduling the dates right now, so please hold on to your tickets until we have an update.
Multi-award-winning British pop star and actor Will Young is back with a new single, ‘Falling Deep’. The euphoric track is the first single taken from Will’s forthcoming ninth studio album, Light It Up, which is out on 9 August.
To celebrate the new album, Will is embarking on his most intimate tour yet – taking shape as an up close and personal evening of acoustic performances, stories and conversation. The 50-date UK tour will kick off in September through to November. About the tour, Young says: ‘I’m very excited to be going to a lot of places I haven’t been. I wanted to go to smaller venues so I could properly get around the country rather than just playing the big cities.’
Channelling the nostalgia of 80s pop with a modern, soulful touch, ‘Falling Deep’ sits somewhere between The Police and The Weeknd. The song is written and produced by renowned pop hitmakers PhD (who have worked with Kylie), with GRAMMY-winning songwriter David Brook (OneRepublic & Galantis) and Fraser Churchill (Charlie Puth). ‘Falling Deep’ speaks to the sweet surrender of giving into a new experience, however dangerous or out of control it makes you feel. It is the perfect introduction to Will’s first album of originals in five years.
The forthcoming album Light It Up – out on 9 August – is Will’s return to ‘joyous pop’. The 10-track collection sees the acclaimed singer-songwriter team up with new collaborators, PhD, the Scandinavian pop production/writing duo who has worked with Little Mix. He also reunites with Andy Cato of Groove Armada and long-term writing partners Jim and Mima Elliot (who worked on Will’s defining album, Echoes).
Will says: ‘I think for me it was about finally feeling more content and being able to go back to embracing joyous unashamed pop music. I really hope this is the go-to pop album for a dance, for a cry and for a celebration. I know I do all three with it.’
