Hozier Makes Plans For 2016

Along with the tour announcement, he also posted Tuesday’s “BBC Radio 1” Live Lounge performance – a cover of Sam Smith’s “Lay Me Down.”

The Irish singer/songwriter is continuing to support his 2014 self-titled debut, which features the hit single “Take Me to Church,” along with the tracks “From Eden,” “Sedated,” “Work Song” and “Someone New.”
