NEW SINGLE: ‘LOSING MYSELF’ RELEASED MARCH 19th

ALBUM ‘ECHOES’ GOES PLATINUM!

UK LIVE DATES SUMMER 2012

‘The most sophisticated man in pop’ NME

‘The ever evolving pop idol threw us a curve ball last year. Will’s latest offering unleashed his potential as an electro-pop artist. Leading with the insanely catchy Jealousy, Will’s new sound won us over’ Attitude January 2012

WILL YOUNG releases his brand new single ‘Losing Myself’ on March 19th 2011 through XIX Entertainment/RCA Label Group.

Another huge slice of sophisticated modern pop, ‘Losing Myself’ is the third single to be taken from Will’s phenomenally successful new album ‘Echoes’ which went straight in the album chart at Number One and has sold an incredible 400,000 copies so far.

2011 was a fantastic year for Will. Besides the success of ‘Echoes’, the first single from the album ‘Jealousy’ was a top five chart and airplay smash, his most successful single in recent years. Grazia called it ‘the best song of the year’. Will has also hosted his own ITV Saturday Night Special which drew over 5 million viewers, and he delivered a fantastic live performance on the Jonathan Ross Show.

‘Losing Myself’ comes with a radio edit of the album version by the Hacienda/Factory Records legend Mike Pickering and a remix by Bimbo Jones.

Firming cementing his reputation as one of the foremost video artists of his generation Will has produced stunning promos for ‘Jealousy’ and ‘Come On’, and the clip for ‘Losing Myself’ promises similar thrills, directed by Henry Scholfield (Professor Green and Example).

Coming on the 10th anniversary of Will’s first audition for Pop Idol in 2001, ‘Echoes’ is his fifth studio album in a career spawning over 8.5 million sales so far. March 2012 sees the 10th anniversary of his debut Number One Single ‘Evergreen’. Produced by Richard X (MIA, Kelis, Goldfrapp,) and with all tracks bar one written by Will, ‘Echoes’ has garnered great reactions from fans and media alike with Sunday Times saying ‘it’s an ace album’, The Guardian calling it ‘classy’ and Attitude pronouncing ‘his vocal delivery never fails to weaken knees’.

Following his hugely successful sell-out tour in 2011, and a very special one off Xmas show at the London Palladium, Will brings his live show back for a tour of nation’s forests in 2012 as part of Forestry Commission Live Music.

Will Young officially opens Virgin London Marathon today! Support his ‘mankini bid’

Posted on by

Pop Star Will Young is running the Virgin London Marathon for Catch22, the local young people’s charity with a national reach, this Sunday (17 April 2011). He officially opened the marathon today!

So far the star, who recently said he would run in a mankini next year if he raised £40,000 for Catch22, has been training as far afield as Australia, North America, Africa and, most recently, with young people from Catch22 in Sheerness.

Will Young says: “Training across four continents for such a momentous run has been a real challenge, but one I am happy to embrace. I’ve met many young people at Catch22, such as the young people I trained with recently from Catch22 in Sheerness, who have overcome seemingly impossible situations. I always keep that in mind when the going gets tough in my training.”

Will is now calling on the public to sponsor him for the 26 mile long run across London this Spring.

The funds raised will go onto support Catch22’s work with young people facing difficult situations throughout the UK. They may be care leavers, NEET (Not in Education, Training or Employment), at risk of offending or young offenders.

Catch22’s programmes help young people find solutions that are right for them, whether it be helping a young person access training and education services, through housing support services, working with families at risk of breaking down, or running community sports and environmental activities to help those at risk of offending to engage with their communities.

Joyce Moseley, Catch22 chief executive, says: “At Catch22 we believe nothing is impossible. The funds raised by Will Young and our other runners will have a great impact on the lives of young people overcoming difficulties. Will Young is an inspirational ambassador for the charity and I hope people dig deep into their pockets to support him.”

The clock is ticking so don’t miss your chance to donate! Will has set up a Just Giving page so that you can help support Catch22. You can log on and donate to www.justgiving.com/Will-Young
