Motown singer Diana Ross spreads the love at UK’s Glastonbury music festival
- Ross, 78, was due to play Glastonbury in 2020 before the coronavirus pandemic caused the festival to be cancelled for two years
- Ross followed in the footsteps of Dolly Parton, Lionel Richie and Kylie Minogue in the Sunday afternoon slot, one of the biggest draws at the festival
It was a sun-drenched love affair between Diana Ross and revellers at Glastonbury on Sunday when the US singer played in the “legends” slot on the final day of the festival.
Wearing a sparkling gown, feather headdress and earrings that could double as small chandeliers, Ross started the party with I’m Coming Out.
The singer and actress, who has sold more than 100 million records worldwide, achieved fame with 1960s Motown group the Supremes before she launched her solo career in 1970.
Supremes’ songs Baby Love, Stop! In the Name of Love and You Can’t Hurry Love delighted the crowd. “So many songs about love,” she reflected.
Ross, who is 78, was due to play Glastonbury in 2020 before the coronavirus pandemic caused the festival to be cancelled for two years.
“I stayed strong and I was determined to get here with you,” she said. “I’m so excited.”
