BLUE fans are being treated to an extra tour date in the south.

The hunky chart-toppers have announced they will be playing Bournemouth International Centre on Monday November 10 as a last-minute addition to their 28-date arena tour.

The band, who release their new album Guilty on November 3, recently delighted Hampshire audiences with their performance at the Rose Bowl, the Hampshire County Cricket ground in West End.

The London lads - Duncan James, Antony Costa, Lee Ryan and Simon Webbe - rocketed to fame in 2001 with their debut single, All Rise. They followed this with a string of other hits, including Too Close and If You Come Back, both of which went in at number one.

The debut album, All Rise, also reached number one and their second album, One Love, entered the charts at number one last year.

The band recently teamed up with Elton John for a cover version of his hit Sorry Seems To Be the Hardest Word. The band's new album will be preceded by a single, also titled Guilty, which hits shops on October 20.

Tickets for the Bournemouth concert cost £23.50 and go on sale this Friday. Box office: 01202 456456.
