LONDON (Reuters) - Fans of Big Country singer Stuart Adamson will get two chances to pay homage to the man and his music, his manager said Wednesday.

Adamson was found hanged in his Hawaiian hotel room in December and police said they were treating the death as an apparent suicide. A service for family and friends was held later in the month.
His manager Ian Grant said fans, fellow musicians and business contacts will be able to pay tribute at a memorial service in Adamson's home town, Dunfermline, in Scotland.

The town's Carnegie Hall will accommodate some 650 well-wishers on Jan. 27, and Grant said that there was the possibility of reaching a wider fan base by broadcasting the proceedings on large screens outside. "I think there are going to be thousands of people," Grant said. "Stuart was a very prominent man in the town."

As well as music, Adamson had another love -- football. The singer was an avid fan of the local Dunfermline FC, whose stadium, East End Park, will be the venue of a memorial concert in May or July. Although plans for the concert are in early stages, the aim is to feature musicians performing music spanning the length of Adamson's career.
Before his death, Big Country had planned to celebrate the band's 20th year with a concert at London's Albert Hall this May. The band has sold over 10 million records.
Now Grant, whose record label released the band's last six albums, hopes to put together a posthumous collection. "I want it to be a Stuart Adamson - Best of," he told Reuters, adding that he hoped to release the album in May. It would feature Adamson's hits throughout his career, which started in the 1970s in a punk group called The Skids.
