Speaking about the upcoming shows, Green said: “The Gnarls Barkley ‘To Whom It Still Concerns’ Tour operates like an open book, exploring the universal matters of life, death and everything in between.

The shows come after Gnarls Barkley ended an 18-year recording hiatus earlier this year with ‘Pictures’, the first single from their third and final album ‘Atlanta’.

Announcing the record in February , the pair described it as a “capstone to the Gnarls Barkley story”. The album arrived in March, following 2006 debut ‘St. Elsewhere’ and 2008’s ‘The Odd Couple’.

Green previously described comeback track ‘Pictures’ as “like going back to square one”, adding: “It’s a full circle moment. The song came from a childhood experience.”

Gnarls Barkley first broke through internationally with ‘Crazy’ in 2006. The track became the first single to top the UK charts based solely on digital downloads and remained at Number One for nine consecutive weeks.
