Manchester United legend Eric Cantona announces UK music tour including Newcastle date
The forward is now working his way into a music career.
For many in the North East, Eric Cantona will bring back memories of 90s Premier League football or talk of seagulls, sardines and trawlers.
But the former Manchester United and Leeds United player is working his way into the music business and after two shows in London and Manchester the French enigma is now taking his songs on the road across other parts of the UK.
Cantona has two two single releases and an EP under his belt, but his name and fans has resulted in a show at one of Newcastle's biggest venues as part of the tour.
