WILL YOUNG - WILL YOUNG SELLS OUT

WILL YOUNG, the original winner of British TV contest POP IDOL, has hit a new peak in popularity - after his London gig tickets sold out in under an hour yesterday (25MAR04).

The LEAVE RIGHT NOW hitmaker will be performing at the ROYAL FESTIVAL HALL and the ROYAL ALBERT HALL with a combined capacity of 6,500 in May and June this year (04).

Those fans who didn't manage to snap up the hot tickets will find rest bite in the knowledge that the 25-year-old's regional show tickets went on sale at 9am today (26MAR04).

Will starts his tour in Cardiff, Wales on the 22 March (04), then takes in most of Britain, before finishing up in Blackpool, England on the 19 June (04).
