The Monkees Celebrate 45 Year Reunion With Tour

You best believe! It's been a long time coming, but 1960s pop group The Monkees are back in action for a UK tour this spring, the band announced Monday, according to a story by Joyce Chen at nydailynews.com.



Three of the four original members - Peter Tork, Davy Jones and Mickey Dolenz - will be kicking off their reunion tour in Liverpool for 10 gigs throughout Britain, including a performance at the Royal Albert Hall in London.

The fun-loving group, which started out as a boy band for an American TV series of the same name, features Americans Dolenz, Tork and Michael Nesmith, as well as Englishman Jones.

Nesmith hasn't played with the band since 1997, though the rest of the band still tours together occasionally.

The band reached its height of fame from 1966 to 1968, and in 1967, The Monkees outsold both The Beatles and The Rolling Stones - combined.
