Lionel Ritchie has more than 50 years of hits behind him, having started out as part of The Commodores who released their first album in 1974, and is set to play many of them at a major UK tour next year.

He wrote a host of hit songs for that band, including Easy, Sail On, Three Times a Lady and Still, before going solo in 1980 and becoming even more successful.

Endless Love, his 1981 duet with Diana Ross, is one of the 20 best selling singles in history, while his eponymous debut album sold over four million copies.

That was dwarfed by his second record, 1993’s Can't Slow Down, which sold a remarkable 20 million copies, spawning the massive number one hits All Night Long (All Night) and Hello.

To date he’s sold over 100 million albums, winning four Grammy Awards, an Academy Award, a Golden Globe and was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2022.

He’s now in the middle of a world tour, entitled Say Hello To The Hits, and there’s good news for Scottish fans - with a date in Glasgow.
