Alan is currently touring with what he’s described as his most personal show ever, following his split from his husband of three years Paul Drayton last year.
“I wrote it before Covid,” he told STV last month. “We had a week to go and it was all written and done. It was about me getting married and Adele getting ordained especially to marry me and Paul.
