Due to huge popular demand, after his first tour-de-force, smash hit, sell out tour, My Life Story, Suggs is treading the boards again with a brand new show - What a King Cnut, which comes to O2 Guildhall on Thursday March 8.

If the first show was about how on Earth he got there, Suggs: What a King Cnut is about the surprises that awaited him when he did.

Vertigo on the roof of Buckingham Palace. Nearly blowing the closing ceremony of the Olympics. Watching his underpants fall to earth on Bowie’s driveway.

Things have gone a smidge surreal since the Madness frontman was a twelve year old in shorts on the tough streets of North London.

In a music career spanning more than 30 years, Suggs came to fame in the late 1970s as the lead singer of the ska band Madness, with a hit single list which includes, My Girl, Baggy Trousers, Embarrassment, It Must Be Love, House of Fun, Driving in My Car and Our House. Suggs began his solo career in 1995, while still a member of Madness. Since then, he has released two studio albums, and two compilation albums. His solo hits include I'm Only Sleeping, Camden Town, Cecilia and Blue Day.

Suggs has also been an actor, with roles in films in films such as Rambo: First Blood Part II and The Tall Guy.

Constantly expecting that inevitable tap on the shoulder to hear ‘what are you doing here, Sunshine?’ how has he got this far? In this business you can be washed up at any minute. How has he managed to get away with it for so long?

Fame is a tightrope and Suggs has fallen off many times.

But for all the near death experiences he takes great solace in the words of the Greek philosopher, Blondie:

‘The tide is high, but I’m holding on.’
