The gig at the Roundhouse on December 20 will mark the end of his sell-out tour of Europe, which was his first for 15 years.

"Almost ten years ago, during the last week of my mother's life, I told my friends and family that if I ever played my own concerts again I would make sure to do a free one for NHS nurses," the 43-year-old said in a statement.

"The nurses that helped my family at that time were incredible people, and I realised just how undervalued these amazing people are.

"And so I want to thank them with a Christmas concert. I can't wait. Neither can the tour crew, for entirely different reasons."
