The Best Of The Divine Comedy will be released on February 4th next year.
Neil Hannon will take a walk down memory lane on Charmed Life, a collection of material from his career with The Divine Comedy which has been remastered at Abbey Road.
“I’ve been luckier than most,” Hannon reflects. “I get to sing songs to people for a living and they almost always applaud.”
“So when asked what to call this collection I thought of Charmed Life. I like the song and it rather sums up how I feel about my life.”
A UK and Ireland tour is to celebrate the compilation’s release during April and May next year.
