Watch: Rufus Wainwright Boxset Preview

Rufus Wainwright is streaming a new video ahead of his upcoming 'House Of Rufus' box set.

Rufus Wainwright doesn't like to hold back. The singer's material is often outlandish, with vast arrangements disguising some subtle, tender moments.

Returning to the UK for a series of special shows in the Royal Opera House, Rufus Wainwright has confirmed plans for a massive box set. Containing 19 discs, 'House Of Rufus' is due to be released on July 18th and contains a raft of rarities.

A lavish collection, 'House Of Rufus' is housed in a gorgeous velvet casing with a 90 page hardback book detailing his entire career to date. Packaged alongside handwritten lyrics, four art prints and more the box set leaves no stone unturned.

Rufus Wainwright has prepared:

Six studio albums: ‘Rufus Wainwright’, ‘Poses’, ‘Want One’, ‘Want Two’, ‘Release The Stars’ and ‘All Days Are Nights: Songs for Lulu’, all now with additional previously unreleased bonus material.

Two concerts on CD: ‘Milwaukee at Last!!!’ and the legendary ‘Rufus Does Judy at Carnegie Hall’ (two CDs), now with previously unreleased songs from the show.

...and four additional CDs including live cuts, rarities and more. Available to pre-order here, Rufus Wainwright has prepared a preview video:
