Lulu is to embark on her first tour in over a decade, with dates starting in May next year.
The gigs are to coincide with a brand new album release - her first since 2005 - and an LP she's currently writing and recording.
Over the past 10 years, Lulu has played some club dates in the US and UK, and was chosen to perform at the Closing Ceremony of the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow earlier in 2014.
The singer says: “I’ve always loved doing live gigs. After performing at the legendary BB King’s NYC last year and now starting to record the album, I'm re-invigorated and ready to get back on the road again. Even before I ever had a hit record I was doing three or four live gigs each week. And recently I’ve had a renewed sense of purpose. I just feel a compulsion to make this new record and, because of that, the songs are just pouring out.
“My family always said I came into this world singing, and I’d be happy to go out of this world singing – but I have a lot more to say before that happens!”
