Lennon release date confirmed

"The album is darker and more character based than any of his previous albums," a spokesman told Hot Press. "It cuts into the detail of everyday life with stories with a specific Irish angle."

March also sees Lennon embark on his second tour in the US, and following that, accompanied by singer Paula Flynn, he will undertake an Irish tour to support the release of the new album.
