Quote: The call of Cape Town hits pop star Will Young It's just a day before his Cape Town concert kicks off, but British star Will Young is cool, calm and collected. He is in the city for the first leg of the Unite of the Stars benefit tour, which takes place at the Bellville Velodrome tomorrow. US heart-throb Marco Hernandez, Italian crooner Patricio Buanne, newcomer Shayne Ward and 1980s pop sensation Bananarama are also set to take to the stage. "I love Cape Town. I like this area. I like Llandudno too, even though it's further out," says Young, who is wearing jeans, a white striped T-shirt and takkies. "I'm very excited. It's going to be fun. I haven't ever performed in South Africa." Young has been in Cape Town four times but this will be his first performance in the city. He has a friend in Cape Town and his godmother lives in Johannesburg. He says he has considered buying property in Cape Town but has not followed through yet . Asked what audiences can expect at his show, he says he will be providing a bit of a "mix and match". "We haven't decided on the songs but that's good, it means that it can vary." Audiences may have a chance to hear Home, which is one of his favourite songs on his latest album Keep On. Talking about his career, he describes it as "a lot of hard work". "There has been a lot happening. I've finished three albums, had seven tours. After Young's tour of South Africa, which will also include shows in Mossel Bay, Port Elizabeth, Bloemfontein, Durban, a gala dinner in Johannesburg and a performance at the Coca-Cola Dome, Young will head to Gabon where he will track gorillas with the BBC for two weeks. candice.bailey@inl.co.za http://www.tonight.co.za/index.php?fArticl...=365&fSetId=251 Edited November 4, 200618 yr by suggy

November 3, 200618 yr Will Young is a star who, in only four years, has managed to stun the world with his talent. Too true. Thanks for posting TT. Haven't been able to get on in the last few days - don't seem to have the time to turn round at the moment. Am going into Scotland for 3 days tomorrow, a short break before going into hospital.
