“I look forward to hearing what they do next and wish them every success in the future.

“I’m excited to start this next chapter in my career.”

After opening in Cardiff on January 9, the rock band will travel to cities across the UK including Birmingham, Manchester, Glasgow, Newcastle and Sheffield.
