"So these concerts will give me the chance to thank the fans who have been so faithful to me over these many decades

"My appearance at Live At The Marquee in June will be my fourth show at the wonderful festival since July 2007.

"It is always a joy to play in Cork and my band and I are looking forward to enjoying what are always some of the greatest audiences on the tour."

His Live at the Marquee show will be his 23rd Irish appearance since his first at the National Stadium in Dublin in 1979.
