Man United legend Eric Cantona announces release of debut album ahead of a SOLD-OUT tour... with his EP containing 'a swaggering rock offering' and a 'psychedelic trip-hop' song

Eric Cantona's venture into the world of music has taken another step, with the Manchester United legend set to release his debut album, ahead of a sell-out tour.

The 57-year-old Frenchman released his first single 'The Friends We Lost' back in June, with the former striker singing about 'laughing and drinking with the vampires' in a moody video to coincide with the song.

'King Eric's' transformation into a musician, which probably comes as little surprise to those that have followed his career and even after his retirement, moves another step forward this month.

His debut EP, 'I'll Make My Own Heaven,' is released on October 20 and includes a mixture of songs sung in English and French.
