The surviving members of the popular 60s pop group The Monkees have announced that they plan to go on a fall tour this year. This will be the first time the band plays together onstage since 1997, and since the death of band mate Davy Jones, who passed away in February.
The last time all of The Monkees played together was during a short European tour in 1997. Now that Michael Nesmith, Micky Dolenz and Peter Tork plan to hit the road again, without Jones, they intent to honor their former band mate by using multimedia content that shows rare photographs and videos. Nesmith said that Jones’ “presence and his past” will be at the show and that they will include some of the songs he sang.
Nesmith also expressed excitement to be back with the band, saying:
“Getting together with old friend and acquaintances can be very stimulating and fun and even inspiring to me. We did some good work together and I am always interested in the right time and right place to reconnect and play.”
According to Rolling Stone, The Monkees will perform a selection of their biggest hits, some music from their film Head and their TV comedy series, as well as some obscure tracks from their studio albums.
