Singer-songwriter James Arthur has been confirmed to perform a special gig for The Sun newspaper in front of just 500 lucky fans. 

He will take the stage at London's Islington Assembly Hall on December 8 and he will also answer questions from fans in the audience. Speaking about the upcoming gig, the "Say You Won't Let Go" star said: "I’m really looking forward to performing this intimate show for Sun readers.”

Tickets for the event went on sale at 9am this morning, priced £9.50, and you can get yours here.

The hitmaker will also perform live as part of the bill for this year's Capital FM Jingle Bell Ball and he recently told the Daily Star that he has big plans for his next album: "I want to just go a bit crazy and a bit more Kanye next. I would love to do something more left (field) and maybe make an R&B hip-hop thing. This one was quite guitar-based, vintage Motown, really honest and raw. But I'm excited to make new music."
