Thousands of Diana Ross fans came to a standstill last night as they watched the singer finally performing in the city’s M&S Bank Arena.
Famed for hits such as I’m Coming Out, the singer captivated audiences from the moment she arrived and gave fans what they had waited two years to see. Diana Ross was originally due to perform in the city back in 2020, but like many artists, her tour was postponed due to the coronavirus pandemic.
Her set opened with I’m Coming Out – a collaboration with Chic’s Nile Rodgers followed by a selection of hits by The Supremes. It certainly gave a lively start to things and gave her oldest fans exactly what they wanted. Can’t Hurry Love, Stop in the Name of Love and Baby Love had everyone up on their feet, many no doubt reliving the days of Motown.
