Ex-Busted and Fightstar vocalist Charlie Simpson has confirmed his new solo record, ‘Long Road Home’, will be released on the 14th July 2014.
“The making of this album has been an incredible journey for me, it is probably the hardest record I have ever had to make,” he confessed on Facebook. “It took me a while to find what I was looking for and there were points when I nearly had to go back to the drawing board. However, after taking some much needed time out from writing and all things music related, I came back with a completely fresh perspective and wrote in my opinion, some of the best music I have written in my career so far. It’s an album I am hugely proud of and one I had to fight for which makes it all the more special. I can’t wait to finally be able to share it with you guys!”
‘Long Road Home’ is available to pre-order now. Those pre-ordering through the official store or via iTunes will also receive a download link to the first track taken from the record, ‘Winter Hymns’.
To celebrate the release of his new record, Simpson will be playing a one-off show at London’s Roundhouse on the 14th October.
Pre-sale tickets are available now, with general tickets going on sale this Friday via SeeTickets.
