has thrown away the rulebook for his upcoming album. In the past, fans of the musician have instantly recognised his distinct tone after he burst onto the scene back in 2016 on the track, All Goes Wrong. Since then, Grennan has achieved success that most can only dream of.

Earlier this year, the 29-year-old announced his fourth studio album – Everywhere I went, Led Me To Where I Didn't Want To Be and he has revealed that it will be a completely different sound to what people are used to. Following the news of the record, his tracks Shadowboxing, Higher and Boy's Don't Cry have become a huge hit with his dedicated followers.

"I've got a new single coming out, a new album which is finished," Tom exclusively told the ahead of the news that he would be heading out on a mammoth tour. He continued: "Everything's good, I'm really excited. The new music is definitely a different sound, so I'm looking forward to seeing if people love it or not.

"But in all honesty, I'm nearly 30 now and it's taken me up til now, I'm finally the artist that I wanted to be and I'm making the music that I really loved and I've taken inspiration from old records, new records and really dived into different sounds and different instruments. I've loved every second of it. Hopefully it goes well." Later this year, Tom will perform across the nation in cities such as London, Manchester, Cardiff and Nottingham. He'll also be headlining Radio 1's Big Weekend in Liverpool's Sefton Park on May 23.

Over the past few months, Tom found himself busier than ever as he embarked on a mission to grab the Number One with his single, It Can't Be Christmas with Amazon Music. "I'm always head down, trying and trying to work my hardest," he said. He went on to reveal that he's "always at it" and has no plans to slow down any time soon. "I don't think I'm willing to stop til I get to where I feel like and deserve to be, I suppose. The music is going really, really well, the Christmas campaign was incredible."

This year, Tom returns to for for the fifth time and despite playing several times, he admits it's still "a blessing" to get the call. "I got to go and see exactly where the money is going, I went to Cambodia with UNICEF," he said. Bedford-born Tom added: "It was amazing. It definitely gave me a sense of Soccer Aid isn't just a game of football, it's raising as much money as we possibly can for children and families across the .

"Every time I'm asked to come back, it's amazing." Last year, a staggering £15 million was raised for Soccer Aid, bringing the overall total to over £106 million since it launched in 2006. Reflecting on his visit to Cambodia, the Wishing on a Star singer said: "It was an eye-opening experience. It was a humbling experience, I just saw the magnitude of what UNICEF is wand what it does. I have to constantly remind myself if I'm having a bad day, life isn't too bad. I've seen kids and families who live in the most horrendous conditions and look at life as a beautiful thing.

"It was an experience that I will always have and remember, I was very lucky to go on a trip like that. Cambodia was amazing, hard, it was hard to see it but it also like 'Wow, we're playing a game of football back in England and all this money is going to kids who I met and it's changing their lives.'"

Despite it being his fifth time playing, Tom joked that he is like a "kid in a candy shop" when he gets to meet his footballing "superheroes." "To meet the likes of , Jermaine Defoe, Petr Čech, David James, ," he said, adding: "People like that, Karen Carney, she's just amazing – when you meet people like that, you just get transported back to being a 10-year-old boy, it's amazing. Everyone's so down to earth, everyone's so lovely. I've made some amazing friends through Soccer Aid."

However, while some jobs see celebrities come together and not speak afterwards, Tom revealed that this couldn't be further from the truth with his Soccer Aid mates. Instead, everyone he plays with is in a mega group with famous faces including Jill, Emma Hayes and Sir Mo Farah all chatting away.

"That always pops off once in a while," he laughed before adding: "Like if somebody does something, for example when Emma Hayes went out to the US, we were back on 2023, I think – we've still got those group chats. Everybody was saying 'Emma, good luck,' and 'well done,' – what an amazing woman she is and the work that she's doing. Everybody stays in touch and it's great."

The match takes place on Sunday 15th of June at Old Trafford, Manchester, with adult tickets priced at £10 and juniors from £10. Tickets are available now on the
