Tales From The Script – Greatest Hits features all of the biggest hits and fan favourites from their six albums so far. It highlights the classic cuts from the trio’s catalogue, taking in the likes of the #1 smash ‘Hall of Fame’ (featuring will.i.am) and the Top 10 hits ‘The Man Who Can’t Be Moved’, ‘For The First Time’ and ‘Superheroes’. It also includes landmark moments and staples of their live show including ‘Breakeven’, their debut single ‘We Cry’ and ‘Rain’. The collection honours everything that the band - Danny O’Donoghue, Glen Power and Mark Sheehan - have achieved together since forming fourteen years ago. It’s completed by the brand new song ‘I Want It All’, which Sheehan says “ delivers all the ingredients everyone knows and loves” plus the ‘Acoustic Sessions’ version of ‘Never Seen Anything “Quite Like You”’.

What kind of special 70th birthday surprise can we give someone who has already received almost every accolade and award imaginable?
