Formed in 1969, Mott The Hoople went on to become one of the best loved and most influential rock groups of all time.
The band, whose fame was established initially by their incandescent live shows, reformed to celebrate their legacy in 2009, and have now just announced they will be returning to the UK in November 2013 for five dates only.
The shows will feature original members Verden Allen (keyboards/vocals), Ian Hunter (vocals/guitar / piano), Mick Ralphs (guitar/vocals) and Overend Watts (bass/vocals). Due to ill health, original drummer Dale Griffin will be substituted by Martin Chambers (The Pretenders).
