Hereās 10 reasons why we can’tĀ wait to see her in Liverpool
1. Few other singers have songs SO memorable in movies that only a few words will have you re-living the fantasy of film. It doesnāt take more than a few bars of Aināt No Mountain High Enough to have you pulling on your Big Knickers, scribbling in your diary and re-creating your own Bridget Jones moment!
2. Forget the Spice Girls ā Diane Ross was a member of THE original girl band, leading Mary Wilson and Florence Ballard in The Supremes.
3. Few singers can claim to have a stellar career spanning six decades ā but 75-year-old Miss Ross has been creating hit after hit since the sixties ā first with The Supremes and then with her solo career.
4. The lady loves her bling ā and you can guarantee fashion queen Diana will be set to sparkle more than ever for a āDiamondā tour with stunning sets and a series of costume changes (for which she is renowned) with each one more dazzling than the last.
5. Ms Ross is choosy when it comes to concert dates so you need to grab the chance to see her while you can. Diana Ross last performed in Liverpool at The Summer Pops in 2005 ā and before that it was 1965, when she shared a bill with The Miracles at the Liverpool Empire.
