David Gray Tour
By Conrad 7th Dec 2007

David Gray will tour the UK in March 2008 in support of his recently released first ever Greatest Hits album. Tickets for the tour will go on sale at 9am on Thursday, December 6th.

Gray’s Greatest Hits album features fourteen tracks that document a career spanning over fourteen years, seven albums, three record labels and eleven million album sales. The album also includes two brand-new songs – ‘You’re The World To Me’ and ‘Destroyer’.

Trained as a painter at the Liverpool College of Art,

David Gray eschewed art for a career in music. Since then, he has had three UK No.1 albums and won the prestigious Ivor Novello Award twice - in 2001 for his breakthrough single ‘Babylon’ and again in 2003 for the single ‘The Other Side’. He has also won a GQ Award for Best Solo Artist (2002), a Q Award for Best Single (2001) and nominated twice for Best Male (2001/2003) at the Brit Awards, alongside a Grammy Nomination for Best New Artist (2002).

Two compositions from his most recent studio album Life In Slow Motion came from his work on the soundtrack for Amma Assante’s debut film A Way Of Life and landed Gray a 2005 BAFTA Anthony Asquith Award nomination for Best New British Compsoer. A true music phenomenon, Gray’s fourth album White Ladder has now been certified nine times platinum in the UK, having clocked up over 2.7 million sales. The album has sold over 6 million worldwide, including 2 million in the US alone. In Ireland White Ladder remains the biggest selling album of all time.
