Rising American singer Roy English on meeting 5SOS

Rising singer-songwriter and producer Roy English is currently opening for 5 Seconds Of Summer on the lads' Sounds Live Feels Live tour and he sat down with Billboard to talk about the opportunity. 

He explained that this jaunt is his "first tour ever" so it's particularly exciting: "It should be pretty interesting. My first show was a house party like a couple weeks ago, so I’m going from a house party to an arena and it’s gonna be kinda crazy, but a blast. I love the boys; they’re like my best friends."

When asked how he became acquainted with 5SOS, English confessed that it seemed to happen organically: "I met the boys a few years ago; they kinda just showed up at my house honestly."

"I didn’t know that they were in a band or anything at the time. We just started hanging and then obviously I heard their music and I’m like, “This is sick.” We’ve been friends ever since. Every time they’re in town we hang, and a few months back they called me and were like, “You wanna go on tour with us?” And I was like, “Yeah man, Let’s do it!”"

5SOS and Roy English will perform live later tonight at the USANA Amphitheatre in West Valley City, Utah. The North American leg of the Sounds Live Feels Live tour is set to take place on September 24 and tickets are on sale now.
