The country music veteran has always had a long standing love affair with Ireland and in appreciation of the affection he has of his Irish audiences, the singer has added an extra show at the Olympia.

The occasional actor, known for his roles in Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore and the Blade trilogy will be eighty next year and understandably is not as regular on the touring circuit as he once once.

All proceeds from the show will go to ISPCC Childline. Kris is a personal long standing supporter of the children's charity.

Tickets for this benefit show go on sale at 9am tomorrow December 5.
