The Four Tops and The Temptations to play Birmingham
Motown legends The Four Tops and The Temptations have joined forces for a UK arena tour - and they're coming to Birmingham.
The Temptations were the first Motown band to win a Grammy Award – and have won three in total. In 2013, they were honoured with the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award.
They are famed for such hits as My Girl, Papa Was A Rollin' Stone, Ain't Too Proud to Beg and many more.
Performing as The Temptations will be founding member Otis Williams, alongside Ron Tyson, Terry Weeks, Larry Braggs and Willie Greene Jr.
Speaking ahead of the tour, Otis said: “These songs are the soundtrack to our lives – we love performing them as much as ever, especially to the UK audiences.”
The Four Tops, meanwhile, formed in the 1960s and are famed for songs such as I Can't Help Myself, Reach Out I'll Be There, Baby I Need Your Loving and more.
Their line-up for the tour includes original member Duke Fakir plus Ronnie McNeir, Lawrence Payton and Harold ‘Spike’ Bonhart.
Looking ahead to the shows, Duke added: “We love coming to the UK - this is our favourite tour and we love the people of the UK, they treat us like royalty.
"They love the music which makes it wonderful to perform on stage every night.”
The Four Tops and The Temptations are coming to Arena Birmingham on November 22.
