The star also overcame the personal challenge of dealing with a benign brain tumour.

Martin said. “I am really excited about 'An Audience With', I will be getting close to people who have followed me on my journey through Spandau Ballet, The Krays, EastEnders and all my ups and downs. See you there.”

There will be an opportunity to ask Martin a question and there is a limited number of ‘Meet and Greet' tickets due to demand.
