“I fell in love with their songs immediately and now I’m so proud to announce that Jeff Lynne’s ELO have asked me to support them on their UK and European arena tour.
“I’m so thankful for this opportunity and I’m sure my dad would be proper chuffed right now too.”
The tour means Lockett will be rescheduling his own forthcoming London and European shows.
