'Living Arrows' is Chesney at his most vulnerable, completely free of inhibitions or doubts

There is heartache, yes, but there is joy, too, and gratitude for everything he has in life. Combined with his heartfelt, candid style of songwriting, the album's cohesive pop-rock sound creates what is not only his greatest work to date, but also the most authentic representation of the man behind the artist. The album takes its name from 'On Children', a poem by the Lebanese-American writer, poet and artist Kahlil Gibran, which addresses the importance of nurturing children while also accepting that their independence has to be a parent's ultimate priority.

The 'Living Arrows' album was produced and co-written by the BRIT Award winner and Grammy nominee Jake Gosling (Ed Sheeran, One Direction). The friendship between the pair is a big element of the album's success: it's a connection that allows Chesney to face the tougher emotions that he explores in some of its songs, but also to enjoy the unbridled fun that he channels in others. Its buoyant spirit was further elevated by guest appearances from friends including Nik Kershaw and Chesney's brother Jodie.

Chesney's will be embarking on his 'Live In '25' UK headline tour, his frst in over a decade. His recent sold-out London show at the 02 Academy Islington is proof of how uplifting his live experience is, with his voice still in peak condition as he mixes old favourites, new cuts and his engaging takes on some select cover.
