Gladys Knight, Chaka Khan, Patti LaBelle, and Stephanie Mills are going on The Queens Tour together. The singing legends will kick off their history-making songfest in May. They will wrap up the first string of dates in June and the second half of the tour will start in September. The four legends are excited to bring their songfest to fans who have loved them and followed their careers for decades. They had a resurgence in popularity during their appearances in the Verzuz online showcase during the pandemic. All of them shared their excitement in statements from a press release:

“Sharing the stage with my amazing sisters is an absolute honor,” says Chaka Khan. “Music is about connection, and this will be a celebration of the joy, power, and love that it brings to us all.”

“I am so excited to join these icons, who I call sisters, on this tour! It’s going to be something special. And I can’t wait to see everyone there,” states Patti Labelle.

“I’m excited to tour with my beautiful sisters! Our different styles unite in love, compassion, and understanding, and it’s important to come together now. Performing with Chaka, Patti, and Gladys for you will be electrifying. We can’t wait to see you,” says Stephanie Mills

Gladys Knight and Patti LaBelle will make history on Sunday when they participate in what is being called the Ultimate Verzuz. The soul legends will go through their catalogs live at the Fillmore in Philadelphia. Gladys Knight and the Pips were Motown stars in the ’60s with “I Heard It Through The Grapevine” and later recorded their biggest hit “Midnight Train To Georgia” for Buddah Records. In the ’80s they were still charting with “Love Overboard” and “Save The Overtime (For Me)” before disbanding. Last year Gladys Knight sang the national anthem at the Super Bowl. Patti LaBelle was also active in the ’60s with her group Patti LaBelle and the Bluebelles. They changed their name to LaBelle in the ’70s and “Lady Marmalade” became a signature song that was later remade in 2002 by Lil’ Kim, Pink, Mya and Christina Aguilera. LaBelle was solo in the ’80s and had hits with “If Only You Knew,” “On My Own” and the Prince-penned “Yo Mister” among others. LaBelle and Knight recorded Babyface’s “Superwoman” with Dionne Warwick in 1991. The artists will battle it out tomorrow at 8 PM ET on the Verzuz Instagram account and Apple Music.
