Theatre venues for the show will be confirmed soon so keep checking back for more details!
Bruno was interviewed on BBC Radio Manchester this morning, where he talked about the 'Does Your Mother Know' concert he'll be performing in on Sunday. Also interviewed with him on the Heather Stott show was former Hollyoaks star Leah Hackett, who will also be performing in the concert.
Bruno revealed that he'll be performing three songs on Sunday - numbers from Bobby Darin and Frank Sinatra and also a Michael Jackson mix/arrangement.

I was getting a bit bored with the old website design so thought I'd have a bit of a spring clean and get a new one! I hope you all like it
In the meantime, don't forget that Bruno will be taking part in the 'Does Your Mother Know?' concert in Manchester next weekend - buy your tickets here!
Bruno will be performing in a concert on Mother's Day in March, which is raising money for the new £17 million Christie radiotherapy centre at the Salford Royal.

Bruno will be making an appearance at the Bad Wolf convention in June.
The convention offers you a great weekend away and also provides the opportunity to meet the stars of Doctor Who, The Sarah Jane Adventures and Torchwood.

Bruno was the topic of conversation during ITV programme 'Stars on the Street', which aired in the UK on Saturday.
The programme discussed the many famous faces that have walked through Coronation Street, and discussion soon turned to TV presenters Ant and Dec and the time when they infamously pranked Bruno on the set of Corrie by dressing up as two Todd-obssessed female Japanese reporters!
Talking about Bruno's reaction to it all, former Corrie actress Sally Lindsay says: "He's such a quiet, sort of self-contained, kind of respectful man and he couldn't quite get his head around it, which was hilarious".
Bruno has signed up with Ruby Music Ltd, a company which represents musicians for events, television, recording and live gigs.
You can read more about Bruno and his band (the Wonderland Band) on their official profile on the Ruby Music website here. You can also listen to some songs on there too - 'Smile', 'Human', 'In The Wee Small Hours' and 'Hello Dolly'.
The website writes: "Star of Stage and screen Bruno Langley brings you the classic songs of the 50s plus a stylish take on more modern numbers. His crooning voice and his band of world class Jazz musicians transports you back to the Rat Pack era. This classy show can take centre stage or create a stylish and beautiful backdrop to your event."
