Al Green tours the UK

'The Reverand' Al Green has announced plans for a UK tour this October.

The soul legend released a new album, Lay It Down, last month, his first long-player since 1975. Al Green retired from the music industry in 1976 to become a pastor in Memphis, but re-surfaced last year to work with producer Ahmir Thompson (The Roots) on a new record.

The tour dates are:
Birmingham NIA Arena (October 28th)
Glasgow Clyde Auditorium (30th)
Manchester Evening News Arena (November 3rd)
London Royal Albert Hall (5th)
London Hammersmith Apollo (6th)
