Edwyn Collins announces his last-ever tour, shares “The Heart Is A Foolish Little Thing” video

Edwyn Collins, the Scottish indie great who fronted Orange Juice in the ’80s, scored a solo hit in the ’90s with “A Girl Like You,” and survived a massive, debilitating stroke in the ’00s, has announced ‘The Testimonial Tour – A Last Lap Around The U.K.,’ which he says will be his last-ever tour. It happens this fall with stops in Glasgow, Buxton, Bath, Southhampton, Brighton, London, Norwich, Manchester and Newcastle. All dates are listed below.

The tour will be in support of upcoming 10th solo album, Nation Shall Speak Unto Nation, which is out March 14 via his own AED Records. He’s just shared a new single from it, “The Heart is a Foolish Little Thing,” which Edwyn says, “I suppose I’m thinking about heartbreak when you’re young and how daft it all seems now. At the time though, it’s intense. I remember.” The song finds his sense of melody and production skills still in fine form and you can watch the music video which was shot in the North Highlands of Scotland below.
