Posted September 12, 200915 yr http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2009/09/12/article-0-06599A6E000005DC-857_468x286.jpg They have been household names for longer than they care to remember – three women whose careers have helped to define popular music. And now singers Lulu, Chaka Khan and Anastacia – combined age 156 – have joined forces to form a ‘supergroup’, with a series of concerts across the UK this Christmas. Organisers claim the venture, Here Come The Girls, will be a ‘footstomping, high octane, tongue-in-cheek musical extravaganza that will have everyone dancing in the aisles’ despite the performers’ advanced years. US singer/songwriter Chaka Khan, 56, is best remembered for her 1978 hit I’m Every Woman, while American modern-day diva Anastacia – at 40 she is the baby of the trio – released her fourth studio album last year. Songs being considered include Lulu’s Shout, Respect by Aretha Franklin and It’s Raining Men by the Weather Girls. Other possibilities are Lady Marmalade by Labelle and Bootylicious by Destiny’s Child. Mr Howard said: ‘We have glitz, glamour, half-naked men and non-stop hits and are hoping it will be the must-see Christmas show of 2009. It will be centred on the three superstars, each with their own unique sense of style and humour. The show will see the girls sing and dance to their favourite songs through the decades. It should appeal to fans of Sex In The City and Mamma Mia! It will be all about big hair, big heels and big voices.’ He added: ‘A show like this was something Lulu always wanted to do and we worked the idea up after we met a couple of years ago. Chaka Khan and Anastacia were her dream artists. They are all quite similar vocally and it was not hard to persuade them. They all wanted to do something different.’ All the concerts will be held in intimate theatre-style venues, such as London’s Hammersmith Apollo, which hosts a gig on December 2. A full list of dates will be announced tomorrow. Anastacia & Lulu on Loose Women whG2ZN86-SU Edited September 19, 200915 yr by Frank!
