George embarked on his latest tour last month, with it promoting his third studio album Gold Rush Kid which topped the charts following its released in June last year.

The tour - which shares its name with the album title - has already seen him perform at various venues in Europe, including gigs in Berlin, Prague, Amsterdam and Paris.

He more recently performed in Dublin and Killarney, before having headed to London earlier this month for the first of his two scheduled sold out shows at the O2 Arena.

George has been supported by fellow singer-songwriter Passenger on the tour, which is scheduled to visit the First Direct Arena in Leeds on Thursday (March 16).
