Darren Hayes has announced a new UK tour due to take place later this year.

The Savage Garden star has unveiled seven dates across the UK in September, starting off in Gateshead before concluding in Brighton.

The jaunt, which is titled 'The Secret's Out Tour', is said to contain music spanning across the whole of his career.
