It follows his recently released debut EP, which arrived earlier this month via Decca.Taking to the stage for the gig, Cantona performed wearing a fedora, a black trench coat and a white shirt, paired with some garish red tracksuit bottoms and red boots.From there, he performed tracks from his newly shared EP –’ I’ll Make My Own Heaven’ and the French-sung ‘Je Veux’.He also performed the lead single from the release, ‘The Friends We Lost’, as well as a host of new material.

The former saw the football icon pay tribute to those no longer around, and put a more melancholy spin on the track live, as he dropped the guitar and string arrangement seen in the original recording, and performed it with just a pianist to his right and a cellist to his left.Find the full setlist for his live shows below, as well as some footage from the Manchester gigs.1. ‘Russian Roulette’2. ‘I’ll make my own heaven’3. ‘Let’s hope’4. ‘I’m just an unknown lover’5. ‘We drive’6. ‘Of the sun’7. ‘We’ll believe in ourselves’8. ‘Que je travestis’9. ‘The friends we lost’10. ‘Mi Amor’11. ‘J’avance et je rêve’12. ‘Perfect imperfection’13. ‘Nowhere (Bang Bang)’14. ‘Je Veux’15. ‘Where love is hanging out’16. ‘On se love’17. ‘I want to see you’18. ‘You’ll never see me again’19. ‘I love you so much’A post shared by @shibhornA post shared by @shibhornWhat a night with the kingEric Cantona.
