A true legend swept into Glasgow last night as devastating diva Diana Ross delighted a packed SECC.
A true legend swept into Glasgow last night as devastating diva Diana Ross delighted a packed SECC.
As 1980 disco hit I'm Coming Out sent the expectant crowd into delirium, the star appeared in a show-stopping red sequinned dress, with a plunging cleavage and hugely extravagant frilly boa.
This was the first of four mind-boggling costumes displayed in a night that played back like a greatest hits compilation.
Classic numbers such as Chain Reaction and Baby Love turned the huge venue into an ecstatic mass karaoke.
The world-renowned motown songstress sashayed around the stage with a ceaseless energy that belied her 63 years; in four inch high platform shoes she shook and shimmied all through the evening.
It is not only her stunning figure however, that seems unaffected by a career that spans fully five decades, as her voice is an awesome and versatile instrument that filled every nook of the barn-like SECC without missing a note.
As thrilled fans laid flowers at her feet she sizzled with a charisma and energy that can only emanate from one of the most famous entertainers ever to grace a stage.
A diverse audience lapped up every second, with the aisles filled with gyrating grannies, singing schoolgirls, as well as the former Supremes singer's huge gay following.
Yet as she finished with a storming rendition of Gloria Gaynor's 1978 classic I Will Survive, it was obvious the diva has truly withstood the test of time.
