It was Turner's first visit to the studios in Wakefield, where his crew test-built the production and he rehearsed his performance in the 17,664 sq ft space, during the three days prior to the first gig at Cardiff Motorpoint Arena on 6 February.
The crew made use of the en-suite bedrooms so they had easy access on site and hired the production offices, catering area and additional facilities.
The LS-Live rehearsal arena has had a busy start to the year, welcoming the X Factor Live tour rehearsals once again, where last year's contestants had one of their first experiences of professional touring.
Sofa manufacturer Sofas & Stuff also took up residency in the rehearsal arena for several days to film product demonstrations for a sofa commercial and their online catalogue. The company hired a turntable from LS-Live as a rotating display platform for the sofas.
