Tom Walker updates fans on his album and the reality of doing a tour underground 🥶

'Burn' singer Tom Walker joined us at Hits Live Manchester on 25th November, where he performed some of his biggest songs, including 'Leave A Light On', along with a huge line-up including the likes of Busted, Calum Scott, Cian Ducrot, James Arthur, Lost Frequencies, Maisie Peters, and Rita Ora.

As we come to the end of the year, we wanted to know what the highlights of 2023 were for Tom, and he opened up to Hits Radio's Tom Green. The singer, who now has tickets on sale for his 2024 tour, and has also announced his new album 'I Am' will be released in May 2024, admitted he hasn't actually finished it!

Speaking to Tom Green backstage at Hits Live, Tom Walker said: "I've been doing a lot of writing (this year), I'm finally like two tracks away from finishing my album, which is so exciting."

The singer went on to explain why he's so excited, saying: "I've been working on it for the longest, longest, time and it sounds so good and so exciting. So I just can't wait to get new music out, but I have been burying my head in the studio a lot of this year. "

Tom, who has announced a new tour, in support of his upcoming album, has just finished a 'Subterranean' tour, and admitted that although it sounded like a great idea on paper, in reality it was a bit impractical.

"I've done a few kind of cool gigs," Tom explained. "I did this Subterranean tour... It was caves and old mines and all sorts. You know, when we put it out, I was like, oh, ‘This is gonna be great, what an interesting space.’

"In reality, it was 8 degrees down there, you could see your breath while you were singing. There was water dropping off the roof where it all collected onto the microphones... There's no power, there was no light!"
