As has become par for the course in recent years, reunion-mania is sweeping the music world. The latest group that to join the fold is ’70s glam-rockers Mott The Hoople – whose biggest hit was the David Bowie-penned All The Young Dudes, a song which Bowie also contributed backing vocals to. The band will celebrate their 40th anniversary with a pair of shows on October 2 & 3 at the HMV Apollo in London marking the first time in 35 years the original line up of the Ian Hunter-fronted band have performed together.
