Ross said: “I’m so excited and grateful to finally know, that I’ll be seeing you at Glastonbury while on my UK Thank U Tour celebrating my new album of songs, Sunday, June 26, 2022.”
It comes after the Dianna Ross released her first music video in more than a decade last week when she released Thank You.
The former Supremes member thanked her sons for giving her the “confidence and encouragement” after she released Thank You, a collection of 13 songs recorded in her home studio, on Friday

The mother-of-five said: “My sons gave me the confidence and encouragement to make this video.
“After spending almost two years not performing and not being in front of the camera, they supported me in easing back into being around lots of people.
“These three people really took care of me: Evan Ross (producer), Amanda Demme (director), Ross Naess (photography), and so many others.
“I am filled with appreciation for the work that they all did to make this happen.”
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
