SIR Ian McKellen's 80th birthday show at Bolton's Albert Halls has sold out within days of being announced.
The legendary actor will perform his new solo show in the town hall on May 25.
He said: "I wanted to celebrate my 80th birthday in Bolton, where I grew up and discovered in its three professional theatres, a passion for acting, which has never faded.
"In the town hall, where my father was borough engineer, I'll feel at home and grateful for all that Bolton nurtured in me at Bolton School, the Little Theatre and in Barrow Bridge where we lived close to the moors."
All profits will help with new seating in the Albert Halls Theatre.
