He said: “The Best Of feels like a real milestone. I’m so proud of it as a body of work and the second disc was so much fun to make. I love the challenge of covering songs, which is probably reflected in my choices.
"For people that have seen me live before, there are some old favourites and there are some tracks no-one has ever heard me perform.”
Throughout his career, Faulkner has sold more than 1.5 million records with over 180 million streams combining to make him one of the UK’s most successful singer-songwriters of this millennium.
Newton was even seen in Birmingham last year, taking to the stage performing as The Sung Thoughts of The Journalist in Jeff Wayne’s UK arena tour of The War Of The Worlds.
Tickets for the O2 Institute gig are already on sale and can be purchased from both SeeTickets and his website.
