Tom Ball, the 25-year-old teacher who shot to fame with his stunning performances on Britain’s Got Talent and America’s Got Talent: All Stars, has announced the release of a new single ahead of the release of his debut album and UK tour dates.
The single, ‘I (Who Have Nothing)’ - a hit for Shirley Bassey in 1963, and Tom Jones in 1970 - will be released on 16th June, preceding the release of Tom’s debut album ‘Curtain Call’ in November on the UK independent label, Westway Music.
In addition, Tom will be the special guest of the No.1 multi-platinum-selling group The Overtones on their biggest ever UK tour this November and December.
Tom was described by BGT judge Amanda Holden as “one of the best singers the show had seen in 16 years”, and by fellow judge Simon Cowell as “simply sensational”.
His jaw-dropping performances of forthcoming single 'I (Who Have Nothing)', Sam Smith’s Oscar-winning ‘Writing’s On The Wall’ and Conchita Wurst’s 'Rise Like a Phoenix', combined with his unassuming nature, quiet confidence and bubbly personality, endeared him to an army of fans and global supporters as he finished runner-up in the 2022 final.
After supporting multi-platinum recording artist Michael Ball (no relation) at a sold-out London Palladium in 2022, Tom was invited to take part in America’s Got Talent: All Stars, a show featuring talent described by Simon Cowell as “the best of the best of the best” of the acts to have appeared on the Got Talent franchises around the world.
In typical fashion, Tom performed a show-stopping version of Simon & Garfunkel’s classic ‘The Sound of Silence’, earning him a standing ovation from the audience and judges - and the first ever ‘Group Golden Buzzer’ to guarantee his place in the final. The performance has since gone viral, being viewed online over 35 million times, and gained Tom huge celebrity support from the likes of James Corden and Adam Lambert.
Tom's US stardom was cemented in the AGT All Stars Final with his unique version of Radiohead’s 'Creep'. Channelling his own personal battles with Type 1 Diabetes, Tom once again gained standing ovations and critical public acclaim.
Despite the US press labelling Tom a hot favourite to win, he was to eventually finish 6th but noted as a star of the future.
Looking ahead to the release of his new single, debut album and heading out on tour with The Overtones, Tom said, “It’s been an extraordinary journey from Britain's Got Talent to signing a record deal with Westway Music. Performing on unforgettable global stages, meeting remarkable individuals and the upcoming honour of supporting The Overtones on their UK tour, the last year has been a dream come true.”
Founder & MD of Westway Music Neil O'Brien said, “Westway is the home of exceptional talent from the West End & Broadway and, having worked with the best of the best, we believe Tom is a world-class star with huge potential to make a big impact in the crossover world. This really is his ‘Curtain Call’. With his deep passion for music and theatre combined, we're absolutely delighted to work with Tom.”
