Luke Evans is releasing an album, proving once and for all that he really can do it all.

And we stan so, so hard.

Taking to Instagram, the Fast and Furious star confirmed the news, sharing a black-and-white snap of himself hard at work in the studio.

‘Been keeping this under wraps but now it’s out,’ the 40-year-old began.

‘I’ve signed a record deal and I’ve been in the studio recording my first ever album!

‘I’m over the moon!! My first love has always been singing.’

Giving us a glimpse at what we can expect, he added: ‘FYI… It’s not a show tunes album! More info to come in the next few months. Stay tuned!’

An insider also teased his debut album would be ‘Christmas-related’.

We are living for it!

Luke sent fans into meltdown with his singing talents back in 2017, while starring as Gaston in Beauty And The Beast.

But he previously admitted he almost turned down his role in Disney’s live-action remake.

Discussing the part, he said: ‘It took a couple of tries by my agents to get me in for Beauty and the Beast because I hadn’t really watched the animated movie for a very long time and I had forgotten how great the journey of Gaston is.

‘You see all the facets of the character, from the loveable rogue to the buffoon to the jealous, revengeful sort of monster that he becomes by the end of the movie.

‘So, it actually took me sitting down and watching the cartoon with my godchildren which made me see how brilliant the role was and that I totally should do it.’

Well, thankfully he did!

Speaking about his singing talent, Luke added: ‘If there’s one thing I’m comfortable doing in this life it’s singing. It’s like therapy to me. I’ll sing to anybody at any time, at anything, I will just sing.

‘I love to sing. It was a joy for me to finally get to do it on the big screen in such a wonderful vehicle as Beauty and the Beast, playing this character with those songs. It was magic.’

Bring on that debut!

Metro.co.uk has contacted Luke’s reps for a comment.
