Matt announced on social media, that he would be performing at the London Palladium on the 23rd of April.

Rumours won album of the year at the U.S. Grammys, achieved 20 times platinum status in the US alone. What’s truly remarkable about this album is the album longevity , and how it continues to sell thousands of new physical copies each year, despite being available to stream.
