In pictures: Tom Grennan treats fans to warm-up gig

Tom Grennan played to 5,000 fans at Coventry's CBS Arena.

Thousands of Tom Grennan fans were treated to a first look at his full-scale live performance ahead of his tour on Friday night.

The chart-topping artist played an intimate "Final Night Of Tour Rehearsals" show in his adopted city of Coventry at its CBS Arena.

Earlier in the day the Little Bit of Love star was joined by hundreds of fans for a morning run at the city's War Memorial Park.

The show featured songs from his number one album, Everywhere I Went Led Me to Where I Didn't Want To Be, as well as others from his back catalogue.

The artist will now embark on an 11-date arena tour

"Coventry is very special to me," he told the crowd. "I feel like you've taken me in as one of your own.

"I'm not from the city originally; I'm from a little town, but now I finally have a city that is mine."

Coventry is Grennan's second home, as his grandmother comes from the city

Grennan, whose grandmother comes from the city, will now take his show on the road for an 11-date nationwide arena tour.

Paul Michael, managing director at Coventry Building Society Arena, said: "What a brilliant night in the indoor arena as we welcomed Tom to the stage for the first time.

"This topped off a huge week in the stadium's history, and there was an incredible atmosphere, made even more special by the way that Tom has embraced Coventry as his second home."

Coventry City FC completed the purchase of the arena, it was announced last week.
