Ash frontman Tim Wheeler has already enjoyed a celebrated career heading up one of Britain's most beloved bands. But now he returns with a whole new lease of life as a solo artist. Check out the exclusive Gigwise premiere of the video for new single 'Vigil' below. 

A tender and string-laden lament, 'Vigil' allows the true heart and soul of Wheeler's songwriting to shine - telling the story of the loss of his father George to dementia. It's only fitting then, that it should come with such a romantic and cinematic video. 

"It was a really hard time, it was a beautiful time as well, with the closeness of the family. We were glad that we all got to be there and share that time together,” says Wheeler.
