Alison caught up with Alex Warren backstage at the 3 Arena - he was getting ready for the second of his TWO night sold out run at the venue.

Ireland hearts Alex and he loves us back. The one night of the year he grabs a beer is always on Irish turf when he checks out a local boozer with his crew for one night!

This amazing young man has an incredible backstory but he has turned tragedy into triumph and inspired so many on the way. He talks about “finding your people” on the road, why he sometimes just stares out at the audience to remember it all, and how the big streaming numbers still don’t feel real - but what actually matters is the people.

An open, heartfelt conversation about losing parents young, keeping their memory alive for his kids, and the artists he’s dying to collaborate with next — Niall Horan and Hozier!!
