Pharrell Williams was so amazed by Foxes' cover of his hit single 'Happy' that the producer invited her to support him on his upcoming 'Dear G I R L' tour.
The 40-year-old will be kicking off the tour in September in support of his latest album 'G I R L' and it looks as though the supporting slot has already been filled by 'Holding Onto Heaven' singer Foxes, who reveals how she caught the attention of the most sought after man in pop.

Speaking about her mash-up of 'Happy' and Massive Attack's 'Teardrop' which she performed on BBC Radio 1 earlier this year, Foxes said: "He heard it and invited me on his tour. Apparently that's how it came about.
"You don't get a personal phone call, unfortunately," revealing that it was her manager who delivered the exciting news.
Foxes, real name Louisa Rose Allen, will be joining Pharrell on all of the 25 dates which includes cities such as Manchester, London, Berlin, Milan, Prague and Barcelona, to name a few.

Understandably, the 23-year-old singer admitted it's slightly daunting opening for one of the biggest stars in music. "It will be the biggest venues I've played," she explained.
"I've played the O2 before [as a guest vocalist for] Rudimental. But to be able to do my own set will be other-worldly. It's just amazing to be going on tour with such an incredible artist. His music has gone worldwide," adding that she won't "badger" Pharrell.
