John Barrowman has announced a run of 16 live shows for 2015 in support of his new record 'You Raise Me Up', released June 30.

"I'm so excited to be touring again, that I'm choreographing songs and arranging stories in my sleep." John said.

After fans pledged money towards the new music through PledgeMusic's Direct to Fan platform, the collection of many of John's favourite songs including the title track and 'Bridge Over Troubled Water' was created.

"This album has been a thrilling personal journey for me," added John. "Each lyric, each melody means something special. I can’t wait to perform them live for all my fans who helped fund 'You Raise Me Up'."
