Peter Kay was brought to tears as he got on stage solo for the first time in 12 years.
Last night the comedian returned to the stage to a huge standing ovation from fans on the opening night of his massive 110-date tour, which includes multiple nights at Liverpool's M&S Bank Arena. He was left "in bits" by the overwhelming reception as he got the tour in 12 years up and running.
There was a feverish anticipation for the show - it being his first comedic tour in 12 years after he cancelled all 100 dates of a tour due to start in 2017 due to "unforeseen family circumstances." Peter arrived in a spotight silhouette just like James Bond, before the curtain fell to a solid wall of cheers and applause from the crowd.
