For these shows Grant will be performing as a duo alongside his long-time musical partner Chris Pemberton, performing seminal tracks from across his career on just piano and keys.
It comes as numerous events in the UK continue to announce their cancellation or postponement as a result of the coronavirus outbreak. Festivals such as Glastonbury and Isle of Wight have already confirmed that they will not take place this year, while a full list of cancelled gigs can be found here.
The UK is currently adjusting to life behind closed doors after strict lockdown measures for the country were announced last week.
UK citizens must stay at home except to shop for food and medicine, for only one form of exercise per day, and to travel to and from essential workplaces.
It followed Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s call for pubs, restaurants and bars to close.
