Los Angeles, California (Release): Over the last few months music fans have been abuzz with the 'news' that the legendary soul group The Temptations will hit the UK in September on tour alongside The Four Tops and Tavares. MEA WorldWide would like to ensure that our readers know that in fact The Temptations will NOT be on the bill "neither in their own right nor as part of a package tour, despite announcements to the contrary".

The Temptations management has issued the following statement: “Please do not be fooled by the advertisements of The Temptations being promoted in shows for the month of September 2024 alongside The Four Tops and Tavares. The Temptations will not be performing at any of these venues.

"Dr Otis Williams owns the trademark The Temptations and The Temptations Review throughout the world. We will be seeking legal remedies against the promoters, bogus performing group members and venues for these dates.”

And while fans may be shattered at the news, here's something from the iconic band (and one of our all-time favorite tunes) to make it all better.
