Grammy award winner Foxes has been cast to appear and perform a track for Doctor Who’s series 8. Foxes will be the third singer to appear in Doctor Who since it’s revival after Kylie Minogue and Katherine Jenkins. The singer has recently has been touring the UK in aid of her new album, Glorious. The album has been ranked fifth in the official album chart.

On her casting she said:

“I can’t believe I’m actually going to be in an episode of Doctor Who! Especially as it all came about from a chance meeting. I was playing a gig and got chatting to the show’s production team who’d been watching my performance. I was telling them how much I loved Doctor Who and next thing they invited me to be on it. I couldn’t think of a better place to make my acting debut than on one of the UK’s most iconic shows!”

In addition Steven Moffat, executive producer, said:

“We are completely thrilled that the amazingly talented Foxes is joining us on board … well, you’ll see. Let’s just say, the Doctor is finally catching up on his phone calls.”

Here is one of her songs from her new album, Glorious.
