There was lots of glitz and sparkle shining in the summer sun as many flamboyantly dressed Diana Ross fans made their way into the First Direct Arena.
They waited patiently at the security checks with that being a mere footnote in the delay of Diana Ross’ UK tour which was halted because of the coronavirus pandemic. Inside, those who ardently love the Motown icon got the chance to show off their glittery outfits in all their splendour at the big Leeds funk and soul disco.
Ahead of her taking to the arena’s stage, support act Zak Abel, spoke of his admiration for Ross and covered a dancefloor fave Good Times by Chic. Rather fittingly, later in the evening when Ross joined her band making a grand entrance, to rapturous applause, she opened with I’m Coming Out - a collaboration with Chic’s Nile Rodgers.
