Sandi Thom burst into tears at her album launch in London this week.

The Scottish singer performed tracks from her new LP The Pink and the Lily along with her debut single 'I Wish I Was A Punk Rocker', which topped the charts in 2006.

"I'm welling up, this is a very emotional night for me," she admitted. "I have so many people to thank."

Thom recently revealed that media criticism had influenced some of the tracks on The Pink and the Lily. The album will be released in May.
