The singer – real name is Abel Tesfaye – played his first UK show in June at intimate 300-capacity east London venue Wilton’s Music Hall. Outside the sold-out show, tickets were being traded for £350, a full £330 over face value.

Watched by Katy Perry and Florence And The Machine‘s Florence Welch, the set featured 17 songs in total from the singer’s various mixtapes as well as a cover of Michael Jackson‘s ‘Dirty Diana’. He later returned to the UK to perform with Drake at July’s Wireless festival.
