Still unable to sing (after his stroke in 2022), Danny’s going back on the road with a completely unscripted tour. The entire show will be based on questions provided by the audience.

Danny says "I had to learn to do almost everything all over again after what I like to refer to as my “occurrence” in 2022. I wasn’t able to sing (I’m still working on that), but having spent all my adult life on stage, I had an itch I just couldn’t scratch, and I felt I needed to prove to myself that I could still put on a show."

"When I answered the questions in the show, I know it sounds strange, but it felt like there was someone on stage interviewing me, and I really liked it. So much so that I’ve decided Under Pressure will be a 100% Q&A show, so it’s going to be completely unstructured, and entirely based on questions from the people in the room. It means all of us (the audience and not just me) will be “under pressure” to create a great show, and it will be different every night of course!"

Planet Rock listeners get a 48hr pre-sale to the tour, starting at 10am on Wednesday 12th August. Get your tickets here.
