Comedy legend Billy Connolly has announced UK dates for early 2016. The 72-year-old comedian will be appearing at the Eventim Apollo in London for 11 dates between January 7 & January 23 as part of his High Horse international tour.

Connolly has been in the news in the last two years for his health issues as well as his shows. In 2013 he had minor surgery for early stage prostate cancer and also had treatment for the initial symptoms of Parkinsons disease. But he continues to tour the world and there is currently an exhibition of his artwork in Glasgow at the People's Palace.

Tickets go on sale on Friday. Link here.
