FAME Academy runner-up and Brit and Mobo Award Winner Lemar is looking forward to meeting his fans when he pays a visit to the area as part of an 18-date UK tour in April.

The soulful singer already has a double-platinum album - Dedicated - under his belt and has gone from strength to strength

since his appearance on the BBC talent show.

He has chalked up four hit singles, won Brit and Mobo Awards and released his eagerly-awaited follow-up album Time To Grow at the end of last year.

Hot on its heels is his latest single, If There's Any Justice, which has soared into the top ten in the music charts.

And the singer said he can't wait to get back on the road.

"It'll be great to get out and see all of the fans who've given me so much support and to play some tracks from my new album."

Fans can catch him in Wolverhampton on Sunday, April 17, when he plays the Civic Hall.

Tickets are priced £20 and are available from Midland Box Office on 01902 552121 or via www.
