The star was with his partner Gill Catchpole, 45, until her tragic death last year. She was found dead at the family home in Whitminster, Gloucestershire on January 5, 2024. A source at the time said: 'Gill was found dead on Friday at the family's home in Whitminster. 'James is devastated and is being supported by his family. 'He is holding it together for their girls but has asked for the family to be left alone to grieve in private.' James, who won the Brit Award for Best British Male in 2007, shared two children with his late partner. Now, the You Give Me Something chart star is starting a fresh chapter of his life as he returns to music. After taking to the stage at a festival, he posted a picture to Instagram and wrote: "What a joy it was to perform at @inittogetherfestival a few weeks ago. "I can't wait for the tour in September." Inside James Morrison's sweet love story with late wife Gill and unusual way they met as she's found dead at their home aged 45 One fan was quick to write: "Love this so happy to see you back!!" A second put: "Beautiful song ( can't stop listening to it ) So happy to see you back xx" A third then posted: "We miss you so much! hope you are feeling better now!" Another surmised: "Lovely to see you back doing gigs, when are you coming to Bath again, I hope it's soon. x" James has also worked as a songwriter for Kelly Clarkson and Demi Lovato.

James met Gill when she moved in as a lodger at his mum's house, with her then-boyfriend. The singer explained: "It wasn't the easiest start, but I just still see it as a really romantic thing. I'm not very romantic. 'I'm not like: 'I love romance!' But I do find certain things romantic and the fact that we met each other the way we did. It's like a little fairy tale or something!" James and Gill's romance blossomed around three months after the boyfriend had left, but there was another twist in the tale. James explained: "He got me back. "My mum rang me one day. And she said: 'I'm out on a date. I wonder if you can pick me up? ''I said: 'Where are you?' And she said: 'I'm at John's house.' And I was like: 'John's house? Who's John? ''She said: 'You know, Gill's John. "Okay, so I have to go and pick my mum up from my girlfriend's ex's house, and it was the most awkward thing! ''But I didn't like the fact that she said that. So I was like: 'No it's not a date. They're just hanging out.' Yeah, it was awkward!" The singer also explained that the early connection with his partner came from music - because her dad was also a musician. He said: "We just had a connection straight away really. But I had to wait two years to find out if what I thought I felt was real. "Because I wasn't going out with her for the first year or so she lived there. She was with her boyfriend, so I was getting to know her. "And I didn't want to tell her that I fell in love with her the first moment I set eyes on her because I didn't know, I never fell in love before. "So I didn't really know if it was that. So it was like a massive moment for me to even tell her that I liked her." 5 Fans were elated to see Broken Strings singer James back on-stage Credit: Getty

It's also likely to touch on her close friendship with bandmate Sarah Harding, who died from cancer in 2021, so I'm sure it will be an emotional read. RADIO 2 In The Park is heading to Chelmsford, Essex, for three days from September 5-7. The annual music festival will take place in Hylands Park, with tickets going on sale at 8.30am tomorrow.
