HURRAY! Tickets for my tour are on sale now! I'll be performing stripped back versions of all the hits, plus songs from my new album ‘LIGHT IT UP’. We've added a second London date, but be quick cause these babies sell themselves!

I spent today at the gates of MBR Acres in protest of their testing on beagles. I wanted to raise awareness of animal testing and the fact that this is a puppy farm that farms over 2000 beagle puppies a year to be sent out to their inevitable torture and death.
