Her 'Champagne For Lulu' tour will finish exactly 60 years after her first big song 'Shout' came out, when she was just 15.

Talking about what to expect from her final shows, Lulu hinted to Gyles: "I'm not going to tell you exactly what I'm going to do, but of course I'll have to do Boom Bang-a-Bang.
