FOR someone who all but disappeared from the public eye between 2006 and 2014, Singapore has been seeing a lot of Damien Rice lately.

The multi-platinum Irish singer-songwriter was here last November as one of the headlining acts of the inaugural Neon Lights Festival; he returns again this weekend to play his own solo show at The Star.

The 42-year-old first played Singapore a decade ago to a full house at Suntec Theatre. His current tour comes on the back of his latest album, My Favourite Faded Fantasy (2014).
