Gerwyn Price has changed his walkout music as he searches for a Cazoo Premier League play-off place.

“The Iceman” replaces his previous walkout song of Vanilla Ice’s ‘Ice Ice Baby’ with Katy Perry’s ‘Roar’ for his push in the second half of the season.

World No 2 Price will debut the new track on night 10 at the AO Arena in Manchester on Thursday as he takes on the current World Darts Champion Peter Wright.
