Their fifth EP, The Book Of Us: Gravity, released last month, peaked at No. 9 on Billboard's World Albums chart.

Of the EP's tracks, Time Of Our Life, also took home No. 1 wins on music programmes Show Champion and M Countdown.

The Singapore stop is part of their second world tour and tickets will go on sale on Sunday (Aug 18). Live Nation members can purchase tickets first on Saturday (Aug 17) from 10am to 11.59pm via www.livenation.sg.
