The 20-year-old South African-born Aussie – who released his stellar debut album Blue Neighbourhood worldwide last Friday (December 4) – delivered a euphoric performance of brand new single ‘Youth’ on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, and proved he’s got the onstage charisma to match his impressive studio chops.
