Excited to be returning with The Billy Joel Songbook, Pace said: "We all get such a buzz touring this show so we absolutely cannot wait to get back out on the road.

"We have an amazing tour in place returning to theatres while also visiting some for the first time, and to be starting in my hometown and then ending in London’s West End is going to be pretty incredible.

"The music of Billy Joel is timeless. He is a genius composer and, in my humble opinion, the greatest singer/songwriter of all time. I really do feel humbled that so many people want to see us perform his music.

"We can’t wait to celebrate this incredible music once again and we’ll now look forward to travelling across the country next spring."
