BBC Radio 2 - The Zoe Ball Breakfast Show, Sam Smith, Sarah Millican and Josh Groban

Sam Smith has live music and Sarah Millican is on the phone plus Josh Groban from LA.

Sam Smith is on the show and they've recorded two special live tracks for the show. Sarah Millican is on the line talking about her latest UK tour. Josh Groban phones in from LA.

Sam Smith is on the show with Zoe talking about their latest album Love Goes. They've also recorded two exclusive live tracks for the show. The new album from the Oscar, Grammy and Brit Award winning artist features songs that also mirror the healing process of heartbreak, from its most painful moments through to resolution. A session with Calvin Harris gave birth to “Promises”, an international smash that affirmed what Sam had long hoped for: that they could be embraced for the dance-spun pop music they wanted to make too. The album title track was born from a session with Labrinth, Sam imagines the song as a duet between a lover and their ex. Building on the 30 billion career streams Sam has amassed and the global success of their debut and sophomore albums, both No.1, multi-platinum selling records in the UK and US.

Sarah Millican, the hugely successful comedian, is on the phone to Zoe to talk about her brand new Bobby Dazzler tour. In this, her sixth international tour, you'll learn about what happens when your mouth seals shut, trying to lose weight but only losing the tip of your finger and how truly awful a floatation tank can actually be. Sarah has spent the last year writing jokes and she says she can't wait to get back on the road and make you laugh. 

Josh Groban, the hugely successful US singer-songwriter is phoning Zoe live from LA tell her all about his new album. Josh is a multi-Platinum, Grammy-nominated singer, songwriter and actor. He has already achieved three number one albums in America plus three consecutive Top 10 albums in in the UK, including the number 1 album Stages in 2015. His new album Harmony is out now  and features his new single Your Face. Before the pandemic, he was about a third of the way through recording Harmony. He had originally envisioned the album to be all covers but COVID-19 changed that while he was stuck at home.

Along with Tina Daheley on news, Richie Anderson on travel and Mike Williams on sport, Zoe and the team have the best start to your morning. With celeb guests, quizzes, headlines, tunes chosen by listeners, and more music that you can shake a glitterball at!

There's also a daily Pause For Thought with the Reverend Richard Coles as Zoe entertains the nation with fun for the family!
