Ryan Sheridan has clearly been biting his tongue, swearing friends to secrecy and screaming into a pillow when it all gets too much, because we have a barrage of updates from the singer-songwriter today.
First and foremost is news of a new album; Here And Now, the follow up to his platinum effort The Day You Live Forever, will be delivered on August 28.
That same night, he'll play Whelan's as part of the Irish leg of a substantial world tour. Kicking off in Australia, he'll also be headed towards Germany, where part of the album was recorded; the Irish dates are at the end of this page.
And, finally, for those of you who are interested in more instant gratification, we have a brand new single to enjoy; 'Hearsay' is the second taste of the new LP, and you can listen to it right here!
