2011: Marcus Collins to play Liverpool One at Homecoming

Marcus Collins will visit his hometown of Liverpool to today to say thanks to his fans for their support.

The 23-year-old will also be visiting his friends, family and also his former school. Later this evening the X Factor finalist will play a gig at local venue Liverpool One.  

Entry to the event is completely free and is not ticketed; however with little space it means it’s a case of first come first serve ahead of the gig at 8:30PM.

Marcus is reportedly suffering with a sore throat infection and was ordered to rest his voice, so it is hoped that he will be well enough to perform alongside mentor Gary Barlow at the venue ahead of Saturday’s final.

Marcus’ X Factor rivals Amelia Lily and Little Mix have similar events planned in their hometowns this week
