The tour will see Dionne guide audiences through her remarkable life story, with a live discussion and anecdotes, starting from her humble beginnings as a gospel singer in New Jersey to superstardom and becoming one of the most recognisable and successful female voices of our time.
As well as being joined on stage by her band for a live performance the evening will also feature excerpts from her award winning documentary Don’t Make Me Over by Dave Wooley, featuring contributions from the likes of President Bill Clinton, Elton John, Stevie Wonder, Snoop Dogg and more.
‘The magic is still there’ commented The Guardian on her run of shows earlier in 2024.
The 2025 UK tour will kick off at Norwich Theatre Royal on 21st April, with stops in Basingstoke, Liverpool, Leeds, Eastbourne, Bath and Bournemouth, before finishing at The Marlowe Theatre, Canterbury on Monday 5th May.
Known for her timeless hits such as Walk On By, Say A Little Prayer and Don’t Make Me Over, the legendary soul and rhythm and blues singer has sold over 100 million records worldwide and charted 69 times on the US Billboard Hot 100 singles chart.
