Editors Frontman Tom Smith To Become A Dad

Editors frontman Tom Smith has vowed to "complete his current worldwide tour with Editors" after announcing that he is to become a father.

Smith and partner, Radio 1 DJ Edith Bowman, described the news that they were expecting their first child together as “the best Christmas present we could have wished for".

Editors are due to begin a five week US tour in January before they return to the UK to play some of the biggest dates of their career.

Bowman is expected to continue her daytime slot at Radio One “for the foreseeable future.”

The couple, who began seeing each other in 2005, added: "To say our parents are excited is an understatement."
