Tom Walker releases new song in heartfelt tribute to his gran

BRIT Award winner and fellow Glaswegian Tom Walker has released a touching new song in tribute to his 81-year-old gran.

It's not the first time that the singer-songwriter's gran has taken centre stage, after Tom thanked her in his BRITs speech and her adorable reaction, watching from her sheltered housing communal lounge, was shown on TV.

Tom, whose debut album What A Time To Be Alive reached the Number 1 spot in the UK Charts, took to his Facebook to explain the meaning behind the new song, 'All That Matters'.

He said: "Last year me and my Gran shared a bottle of wine and spent an evening chatting and catching up. No telly, no music, no distractions just reminiscing about all the good times, and the bad.

"A couple of weeks later I wrote this based on the wealth of wisdom, knowledge and all the stories my Gran told me about her life. It's one of the most honest songs I've ever written and I still struggle not to shed a tear when singing the second verse. This one's for my Gran. It's called 'All That Matters'."
