Told my mum and there were tears. Imagine waiting 50 years to see your all time favourite, so made up for her.

And just realised its on my birthday too, what a party that's gonna be ?

 

This is all kinds of awesome!

I was looking at her setlists and it doesn't look like she has been playing chain reaction at her shows?

All the best Legends Slots contain a jam from the almighty pen of the Gibb Bros.

Gunna be so many red pant suits knocking about. Gunna be amazing, this.

I wonder how long the negotiations for this have been going on? When he came off stage from his cameo with Coldplay in 2016, Barry Gibb was asked if he’d be doing the Legend slot in 2017 and he said DR was doing it.

[CaledonianGonzo]

The shortlist must be really short now, so I assume it's been a few years.

[phillyfaddle]

Very happy at this news. Gotta see her. Hope she does a load of old Motown numbers, not just her 1980s solo stuff.

Vibe check on the #rosspipes.

Heard they were in decent nick? Anyone confirm.

Think @The Nal confirmed this not too long ago

Recent reviews all seem pretty good. Compilation / clip vid from her time in Vegas earlier this year here. Never been the strongest voice but fuck it she's 75 and sounds alright. Ain't no Mountain around 4:30

Well ill definitely be there anyway, I think she sounds pretty good all things considered!

I'm buzzing about this - Diana Ross is a proper legend - even @stuartbert two hats can't complain about her being described as a legend
Tamla Motown was part of the soundtrack to my youth - Friday school discos: Baby Love, Reflections, You Can't Hurry Love, Love Child plus all the later ones -  Someday We'll be Together, Chain Reaction, I'm still Waiting - I can't wait for this.

Recognized her name but couldn't think of any songs off the top of my head. Put on a playlist and... holy fuck she's incredible? Can't believe how many songs I recognise, she's got hits for days

 

I'm sooo hyped

Chain Reaction is going to go the fuck OFF 

[Zacko]

Tenner says she brings Steps out for their cover.

She doesn’t do it. Ditto a lot of Supremes hits.

She literally used a video of Chain Reaction for her announcement, I reckon she'll play it.

[chrislfc]

Glad she's not a 'mimer' although I hope she doesn't do that many costume changes in an hour and 15 minutes.

Had My Old Piano on repeat today. What a tune.

Shame it don't appear she plays it.

well she’s not miming but her backing singers are helping a lot.

She's the queen of motown. The Supreme days were incredible. 

[fatyeti24]

According to wiki, Chain Reaction was a much bigger hit for her in the UK (no.1) than it was in the States (no.66 at the second time of asking).

[ManchesterGlasto]

I’m buzzing off this! She is awesome. Reckon some decent guests on with her too.

off I trot to sort out the sparkly dress, long gloves and a feather boa!

Such a shame, as it's a stone cold slammer!
