Fresh from playing Glastonbury at the weekend, and following on from her Platinum Party at the Palace performance a couple of weeks ago, pop superstar Diana Ross was due to stop off at Durham Riverside on her Thank You tour on Wednesday evening
Fans flocking to the Chester-le-Street stadium will hear the 78-year-old American performing some of her greatest hits - from Supremes' classics including Baby Love and Stop! In the Name of Love, to later solo favourites such as Chain Reaction, I'm Still Waiting and Upside Down. Read more about timings and arrangements for the show here.
By way of coincidence, Ross was appearing in the region exactly 25 years ago, on that occasion at Newcastle Arena - her first time up here since 1973. Our photos from June 30, 1997, capture the star performing (the first of two sold-out nights at the venue), and our review by the Chronicle's long-time showbusiness man Gordon Barr recalls an excellent show.
