MUCH loved entertainer John Barrowman has announced a 16-date tour for 2015 in support of his new album, You Raise Me Up.

On his first full UK tour in four years, John will visit Bournemouth International Centre on Saturday May 2.

He told Your Entertainment: “I’m so excited to be touring again that I’m choreographing songs and arranging stories in my sleep!”

John’s fans funded the album through PledgeMusic's Direct to Fan platform. It features new arrangements of many of John’s favourite songs, including Mandy, Bridge Over Troubled Water, A Thousand Years, and the title track, You Raise Me Up.

“This album has been a thrilling personal journey for me,’ added John. ‘Each lyric, each melody means something special. I can’t wait to perform them live for all my fans who helped fund, You Raise Me Up.”

John’s career has been nothing short of incredible and this year has been no exception. John was awarded an MBE in HM The Queen's Birthday Honours this month and apart from starring in Arrow as Malcolm Merlyn (aka The Dark Archer) in the US and on Sky in the UK, hosting Sing Your Face Off for ABC in the US, John is about to release his third fantasy novel, The Book of Beasts co-authored with his sister Carole Barrowman. John’s new Channel 4 show John Barrowman’s Pets with Problems will air this summer, and later this year he’ll host the BBC 1 quiz show Pressure Pad, and The National Lottery Awards.

“I’ve got lots to celebrate with my fans on this You Raise Me Up Tour, said John. ‘Let’s raise these theatre roofs together!”
