In 1975, the band broke up, and Furnier legally adopted the name as his own and went on to launch a solo career.

He is known for his theatrical hard-rock performances, usually involving a gothic theme.

The Cult emerged in the UK during the post-punk scene of the 1980s and eventually established themselves as a hard rock band.

Fans can expect to hear classics such as Poison, School’s Out, and No More Mr Nice Guy.

EN ROUTE TO NORMAL has become not just a funny, heartwarming mix of stories, music and history, but a personal mission to find our way through these Strange Times!

It sees the comedian recount his own experiences of dealing with isolation during the Covid-19 lockdown.

The show is scheduled to take place at the Hydro on 10 May 2022.
