James Arthur at London’s O2 Arena: timings, tickets and everything you need to know

When James Arthur’s heart-wrenching rendition of ‘Impossible’ won him ‘X Factor’ series nine back in 2012, it seemed pretty dead-set that he was at the start of a cracking music career. 

And now, 12 years later, the tour for his fifth studio album ‘Bitter Sweet Love’ is set to fill Londons O2, not just with aching piano ballads, but some of his boppier hits, too. Here is everything you need to know about tomorrow night’s ‘Bitter Sweet Love’ show.
