IN A NUTSHELL
Call off the search, William Orbit has found Melua a respectable new sound.

– Katie Melua @ The O2 arena

– Early Music Festival @ Greenwich

KATIE Melua heads to The O2 next month, assuming she gets through her next few live dates unscathed.

The 24-year-old singer spoke to The Wharf about the November 8 show at the arena, and revealed she, literally, choked on stage during a gig in Sweden last week.

She said: "I swallowed a piece of my hair while I was singing a song called "Scary Films" and couldn't breathe. I had to try and carry on singing while getting the hair out of my mouth without anyone noticing and it wasn't very nice.

SHE IS Britain’s best-selling female musician – but Katie Melua hopes a Docklands venue will be more “intimate� for her fans.

The 23-year-old, who has sold over nine million albums to date, will play at The O2 later this year.

She spoke exclusively to our reporter Simon Hayes about her tour, having a number one single and being an adrenalin junkie.
