Michael Buble has announced plans to tour the UK.

The Canadian crooner, who performed his new single Cry Me A River on The X Factor, will play seven dates as part of his Crazy Love tour, to promote his latest album of the same name.

He kicks off at Sheffield Arena on May 6, before moving to Glasgow, Manchester, Liverpool, Newcastle, Birmingham, and finally London's O2 Arena on May 15, 2010.

The singer said the message of his new record is that "all of us can relate to this feeling, this emotion called love".

Buble - who once dated Young Victoria actress Emily Blunt - also said love is worth the pain.

"I've given up a lot and I've hurt myself over it more than I can even say," he said. "I guess that's crazy but for me you don't have much of a choice. It's worth it. It's worth it for the payback."
