The gospel choir who performed at the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s wedding have announced a tour of the UK.

The Kingdom Choir, who gave a spine-tingling rendition of Ben E. King’s Stand By Me at St George’s Chapel in Windsor, will hit the road in April 2019.

The gospel singers, led by conductor Karen Gibson, will kick off with a show at Sheffield’s City Hall on April 30, and further tour stops will include Manchester, York, Birmingham and Edinburgh, before they end with a concert in Cardiff on May 30.

They will also perform at London’s Royal Albert Hall on May 19, exactly one year after they performed to their biggest audience to date.

Prior to the royal wedding, the group had only sung to a maximum of a few hundred people. An estimated 1.9 billion people around the world tuned in to watch Prince Harry and Meghan Markle tie the knot.

The London-based choir signed a record deal with Sony Music UK and are set to unveil their debut album on October 26.

Entitled Stand By Me, the album also features renditions of Beyonce’s Halo, John Legend’s All Of Me and Stormzy’s Blinded By Your Grace Part 2.

Tickets for the tour go on sale on October 5 at 9am at LiveNation.co.uk.
