Cocker’s alternative entertainment for fans comes after he streamed a ‘Domestic Disco’ live-stream from the comfort of his living room earlier this month.
Last month, Cocker’s new band JARV IS… announced they would delay the release of their debut album and UK tour as the nation continues to battle the coronavirus outbreak.
