Fran Healy announces debut UK solo shows
By CMU Editorial | Published on Friday 27 August 2010
Travis frontman Fran Healy will perform his first UK shows as a solo artist next month, it has been announced. The shows will precede the release of Healy’s debut solo album, ‘Wreckorder’, on 4 Oct.
Speaking about his decision to go it alone, Healy said: “If you’re the singer in a band, people always ask, ‘Are you gonna go solo?’ My answer was always, ‘Why would I do that? I’m in the best band in the world.’ But last year, out of the blue, I suddenly thought, okay, it’s time. My biggest concern was that it would sound too much like Travis. What would be the point in going solo only to make a record that sounded like Travis. I’m relieved it doesn’t”.
Tour dates:
15 Sep: Glasgow, Oran Mor
16 Sep: London, Bush Hall
