John Newman who has written and performed on some of the biggest anthems of the last seven years, bursting onto the scene as the co-writer and voice on Rudimental’s classic “Feel The Love”, releases his brand new single “Stand By Me” today. Listen BELOW.

Fans will have a chance to hear John performing the single live for the first time on the BBC’s annual Sports Relief Telecast on Friday March 13th. Newman, one of the UK’s best loved and more enduring artists has enjoyed three #1 singles in the UK and built a large and fervent following. “Stand By Me” was co-written by John alongside Swedish collective BLNK collective who wrote “Paris” for Chainsmokers, and was produced by Steve Mac who has contributed to 30 #1 singles in the UK and is best known for his work with Ed Sheeran, Mabel, Little Mix, Pink and Jess Glynne to name but a few.

It was the global #1 smash ”Love Me Again” and subsequent #1 platinum certified debut album, Tribute which also spawned the huge hit single “Come & Get It”, that established the Yorkshire-man as one of the UK’s most singular talents and consistently successful artists. Global monster “Blame”, which sold over 4 million worldwide, gave John his third UK #1 single following Rudimental’s “Feel The Love” and his own chart-topping debut ”Love Me Again”. Indeed Newman has sold over 6 million singles world-wide to date. Since then John Newman has travelled the world, headlining some of the most legendary venues and performing on some of the biggest stages.

While John’s career has reached some wonderful and memorable highs, his personal life has brought serious health issues in the shape of a recurring brain tumour condition, which has required constant monitoring. Thankfully the signs are that everything is under control and manageable. In the last year John has also recently revealed his entrepreneurial side by launching a high-end exclusive chauffeur service. Stay tuned for further details. And finally combining his love of cars, music and conversation, John is also set to launch his own podcast, which will feature a mix of famous friends and interesting characters far from the showbiz spotlight whose paths he has crossed over the last decade.
