Transform, which is set to be released in May next year, will be his first release since the 2015 multi-media album.

Engage and according to the 63-year-old musician, will be a return to his electronic-pop roots.

"It’s been a long time since I have made an album full of electronic based pop tunes" says Howard.

As well as performing his newer hits, the shows are sure to feel nostalgic for many as the star is set to revive many hits such as What is Love, New Song, Pearl In The Shell, Things Can Only Get Better and Hide and Seek.
