Richard Ashcroft peaked at Number 2 on the UK album chart last year with his latest studio album ‘Acoustic Hymns, Vol. 1’, which featured reworkings of Ashcroft's songs with The Verve and his solo career.

Liam Gallagher lent his trademark vocals to Ashcroft’s new version of his 2000 anthem ‘C'mon People (We're Making It Now).’

2021 saw Ashcroft perform a series of sold-out headline UK shows including the Royal Albert Hall and two nights at the London Palladium.
