The gig is the first on a world tour from the singer from West Lothian.

Boyle will perform at the Zayed Cricket Stadium in the Gulf state on 13 December to promote her new album Song for Christmas, which features a posthumous duet with Elvis Presley.

Boyle shot to fame on TV talent show Britain’s Got Talent in 2009, and has since released four albums and won two Grammy awards.
