Simply Red announce reunion tour five short years after their grand farewell The Holding Back The Years hitmakers bowed out with a "finale" show at the O2 Arena in December 2010 but will return to the venue next Christmas at the completion of a 14-date UK tour. Hucknall, the only member who survives from the original line-up, said: "I like an anniversary, and this is a big one. It feels like the right time. Breaking into the charts in 1985 with their cover of Money's To Tight To Mention, Simply Red have sold 60 million records. Mancunian singer Hucknall became a Labour donor and a prominent supporter of Tony Blair. Hucknall, 54, went solo after the split and released a collection of American soul covers in 2012. The band will now play 35 European dates in 2015 starting in Denmark on 20 October.
