Tinie talks to Stu about the BRITs and going on tour

Speaking about his excitement around touring again, he said, "It's going to be amazing, the tour is kicking off very shortly, we've been in rehearsals literally every single day leading up to this point.

"It's the second arena tour, we're going out and we're going to be performing all the new songs off of the new album, Demonstration, as well as all the old songs that hopefully people have got to know really well over the years - Pass Out, Frisky, Miami to Ibiza, Written in the Stars.

"We're going to have a lot of fun, my shows are really energetic and we're going to try stuff that we haven't ever done before!"

Speaking about being inspired by live performances, Tinie said he wants to copy something he saw recently, "There was a Grammy performance that I feel a lot of BRITs performances were inspired by - the Imagine Dragons and Kendrick Lamar performance.

"That one blew my mind; I've never seen anything like that. That was the last performance I saw that I thought 'Wow, yeah I wish I could copy that'!"
