Patrick Wolf has announced the details of a one-off live show at the London Palladium.
The 'Hard Times' star, who will play the date in the capital on November 15, revealed that the choice of venue was inspired by actress Whoopi Goldberg.
Wolf said: "I was in New York at a photoshoot, still undecided about which venue to play my ultimate fantasy show for this album.
"It was between The London Palladium and The Theatre Royal, so I sit down for a burrito in the studio cafe and from behind me in walks Whoopi Goldberg and gives me a hug!"
He added: "Seeing as the Palladium was the chosen venue for her latest Sister Act, I thought it pretty obvious what the stars were telling me.
"The Palladium is the perfect venue to debut The Bachelor with string section and gospel choir, to hear the songs in their original arrangements live."
The singer-songwriter promised to bring a "third dimension" to the album with "a dark, magic trooper show with special guests and duettists, costume changes".
