“I am probably happier than I have ever been,” he explained during an interview with Independent Media Lifestyle.

“I've never been more content in both my personal life and my professional life, I feel like I believe in myself more than I ever have and I am in a really good place in my life.”

With his increased positivity, the You Are The Reason hitmaker is thrilled to be bringing his The Avenoir Tour to South Africa early next year.

The former Britain’s Got Talent star will be performing in Cape Town on January 14, before making his way to Durban two days later and then ending his Mzansi tour in Joburg on January 17.

The Brit Awards-nominated artist is no stranger to South Africa, having previously toured the country several times before, including in 2018 then in 2022 and 2023.

“I love South Africa, she has been a kind mistress to me,” the 36-year-old said.

He added: “South Africa is very special and for me to be so far away from home and to have so many people supporting my music, that love what I do and have used my music for certain parts of their lives, its an honour so I have maintained that I will be the kind of artist that comes and pays my respect back so if the least I can do is perform in South Africa for an hour and half and that's exactly what I will do.”
