The show will cover a variety of topics, from the evolution of pop to gay rights, as well as Will's funny moments during a unique and successful 18-year career. He will speak about numerous career highlights, from winning the first ever Pop Idol aged 22, to scoring four Number One albums and four Number One singles.

His tour in September and October will play nine venues across the country, and follows the publication of his new book, To Be A Gay Man.

Fans have the chance to meet Will before the show during a VIP Meet & Greet, places are limited. There will also be audience questions.

Will explained: "I'm really looking forward to this. It'll be a funny show and I'll be talking about my career as well as looking at mental health, gay rights and much, much more. It's a spoken word show - there's no music - and I'm excited to be following the publication of my new book with nine UK dates."

The show follows the success of Will's latest record, Lexicon. It follows his life from the age of four, through boarding school and university, to entering and winning the biggest talent competition ever seen, Pop Idol.
