Chesney Hawkes is putting himself in the hot seat for an Instagram Live Q&A later this week.

The One and Only hitmaker insists there will be “nothing off topic” during the chat on Wednesday, May 12 – days before the star releases the final track from his ‘Sunset Sessions’ acoustic EP.

“I will be hosting an Instagram Live Q&A this Wednesday,” writes Chesney. “I look forward to speaking with you all on the 12th May 8pm GMT… Can’t wait to hear your questions.”

The singer is currently promoting his new EP, which also features his duet with Nik Kershaw, Lost In You, out now.

And speaking exclusively to Retro Pop, the star, who’s currently celebrating 30 years since his musical debut, reveals more new projects are on the horizon. 

“This year has just been [me] sitting at home in my studio,” explains Chesney. “I just wanted to be creative, so I finally did make an album through lockdown. 

“That was supposed to be released last year, but I don’t know if you heard there’s this virus going around…

“So that got put back because, artists like me, we need to play. We need to get on the road to promote an album. My management had this fantastic team ready to go, and it just gets put back and back and back.”

While a release date for the project, which remains untitled, has yet to be confirmed, Chesney’s hoping to tour the UK over the Summer, as he hits the road with other classic acts for a string of festival dates. 

And it’s not the only new material the What’s Wrong with This Picture star’s working on – he’s also in the process of recording a cast album for a musical he’s written.
