Fans of the venerable old Philadelphian will know that Todd Rundgren has just released a new album in the shape of Arena on Cooking Vinyl, his first original studio recording in four years.

A November UK tour has been announced to promote the record, that arrives at The Forum on 23 November. He also plays Manchester, Edinburgh and surprisingly some might say, Norwich. Rundgren, of course, was the American rock legend whose records Mark Chapman left in his hotel room before he left for the Dakota Building in New York to shoot John Lennon. Chapman has said of Rundgren: “I cannot overestimate the depth of what his music meant to me.” For tickets to the Forum show call 020 7284 1001.
