Returning to Newcastle with his Keep On tour, Will Young takes time out to talk to Laura Czerniak about the tour, Tyneside and a possible future on stage

 

 

Will Young has come a long way since he catapulted to fame in 2002, with his Pop Idol victory over Gareth Gates.

With 3 albums, 4 number one sinlges, numerous awards and a hit British film under his belt, the 27 year old has much to be proud of.

The upcoming Keep On tour, playing various locations across the country during September and October, is clearly at the forefront of the singer's mind and he talks about it animatedly.

'I'm really excited. The last tour went so well, I'm wanting to improve on that. I think you have to put on a great show as people have paid a lot of money to come and see it.'

Always polite, the former Pop Idol winner also said: 'I think there have been some other great shows recently, such as Madonna and Take That. They always put on a good show.'

When asked about preparations for the tour, starting in September, Will said, 'There's a lot of work going into it. We're going to have 23 dancers on stage in total. Its going to be big.'

The tour, which comes to Newcastle Metro Radio Arena on September 23, will be the realisation of months of hard work.

Will explains,' I actually had an idea about how I wanted to perform some of the songs from the albumwhen I was writing them so performing them on stage is kind of the end of a two year dream.'

The tour will feature songs from his third album, Keep On, alongside a selection of songs from his previous albums, From Now On and Fridays Child.

'I love performing new material as it's so fresh but it's also great fun doing the older stuff. We've reworked some of my previous songs so those should be fun too.'

When questioned about writing his own songs, Will said:' I wrote about half of them, about seven.'

So what does Will think about Tyneside? 'Ive been on a few occassions, maybe about 5 times but I don't really know much about the area,' he admits. 'But it seemed nice. We just stuck along the Quayside as that was where we were staying but it seemed really fun. Good bridge!'

Whichever bridge Will was talking about, its clear he's a nice guy. And also truly devoted to his music. He said,' To be honest I dont get much spare time at the moment with preparations for the tour, its so much work, its all go. I also spend a lot of time emailing my creative director as he's in Australia at the moment.'

A performer by trade, Will has also dipped his toes into the world of acting, playing the part of Bernie (sic) in the 2005 film Mrs Henderson Presents, along side Judi Dench and Bob Hoskins.

See you there chrysalis. :dance:

Thanks for bringing the Chronicle Article over. Will always gets good reviews in the Tyneside press. :dance:

 

It's going to be rather crowded on stage with all those dancers.

I keep forgetting to pop in here and read this thread, I didn't notice you'd already posted the Newcastle article chrysalis. :blush: :lol:

I wonder what the chances of finally getting to hear him sing 'Going My Way' will be on this tour... I'm guessing slim to nil.

 

Not long until it all kicks off, still waiting on a load of tickets to arrive but at least there is no more stress of buying them now :cheer:

Agree Harri, would love to hear Going My Way live. Can't wait now, and my first opening night too - never mind Will, I'll be a bag of nerves :D

He aired Lovestruck at the Mermaid gig - don't think we have heard this live before. It would be lovely to hear a re-arrangement of one of his songs from FNO - especially as it's been selling again too.

I'd love to hear Fineline again live. It gave me goosebumps at Stowe - incredible voice :wub:

I have front row at one venue..FRONT FECKING ROW... :o

i'm there first night and last night too! it can't come soon enough for me..

Tatton Park is the last time I saw Will live as well, it seems such a long time ago now, I remember it well, marmite butties and Will, bliss. :wub: I'll not remark on your gluttonous amount of arena dates, as I'd be going to more than my three dates if I had the cash. :lol:

It's still only July! :angry: bloody hell. :cry:

 

59 days til opening night :cry:

Sorted out my last travel arrangements yesterday. :D

 

Roll on September. :dance:

58 days, it'll soon come round to september and then we'll all be moaning that it's going to quick. :)
