(Classic Rock) A final date has been added to Jeff Wayne's last-ever The War Of The Worlds tour. The trek - based on his acclaimed 1978 concept album - will now open at Sheffield's Motorpoint Arena on November 27, in addition to the 16 previously-announced appearances in the following weeks.

The final live version stars Liam Neeson in 3D holography, Jason Donovan, Brian McFadden and others - and sees the story's author HG Wells brought to life by Scottish actor Callum O'Neill.

Wayne says: "I decided it was time to give Wells a chance to have his say on why he wrote the first science fiction story ever. He'll be seen and heard in three riveting scenes - aged 33, 53 and 79 - spanning the end of the 19th century and two subsequent world wars."
