Diana Ross

As Motown icon Diana Ross prepares to perform at the Queen's Jubilee and Glastonbury we take a look at her supreme career, family life and totally timeless ...

But Diana wanted a bigger stage and more space on it and quit the group in 1970 to embark on a solo career. As proof of her incredible longevity, The Guinness Book of World Records recognises Diana as the greatest female artist in US and UK chart history. The star then went on to bag a number of top 10 hits with tracks including My Endless Love and Chain Reaction. Diana shot to fame as the lead singer of the girl group The Supremes, which became Motown's most successful act in the 1960s, and one of the world's best-selling girl groups of all time. As she prepares to step back into the spotlight for the Queen's Jubilee and Glastonbury concerts, we take a look at the star's extraordinary life. Shifting more than 100 million albums both as a member of the Motown group, The Supremes, and as a solo artist, the mum-of-five has come a long way from Detroit.

That was a poor ending." #PlatinumPartyatthePalace" BBC One aired The Platinum Party at the Palace as part of the Queen's Platinum Jubilee celebrations on Saturday night.

A second chimed in: "What’s happened to Diana Ross’s mic? one kicked off the furious comments. The artist formerly known as Ginger Spice was one of a number of famous faces who sent a video tribute to the Monarch. Sack the sound engineer," as a third agreed: "Turn the volume UP!"

LONDON — Diana Ross closed out the BBC's Platinum Party at the Palace concert by urging the crowd of spectators to thank Queen Elizabeth II for her service.

Global superstars performed outside London's Buckingham Palace on Saturday night to mark Queen Elizabeth II's 70-year reign.

The Queen was not in attendance, but Prince Charles was. - The BBC's "Platinum Party at the Palace" took place outside Buckingham Palace on Saturday night. - The concert featured performances by Diana Ross, Alicia Keys, Queen, and Andrea Bocelli.

One of the showpiece events for the platinum jubilee is a concert with Queen, Diana Ross, Elton John and more.

This only reinforces my belief that the staunchest royalists all spent the year 2000 smashed on WKD and listening to Oxide and Neutrino. Andrew Lloyd Webber is now sitting at a piano with Lin-Manuel Miranda, who is singing a version of You Say from Hamilton with lyrics rewritten to reflect the jubilee. What I like most about this Lion King bit is that they’re all waving birds on sticks around, like the things they stick on top of tips to keep the seagulls out. At a concert for the Queen. Remember when Windsor Castle burned down in the 1990s? Either way, they’re singing Notorious and they look for all the world like they’re having a ball. And now for Sigala and Ella Eyre, singing the sort of song that ITV2 would choose to soundtrack a Take Me Out promo. Single-handedly responsible for rescuing the UK’s reputation at Eurovision, it now falls upon him to make us all forget about Andrew Lloyd Webber. He’s wearing a sparkly Union Jack pyjama onesie, and he has managed to unite a bored and fractious crowd. Judi Dench and David Beckham are now being projected onto the side of Buckingham Palace to thank the Queen for her service. She’s singing Empire State of Mind, but for the last chorus she’s changed “New York” to “London”. “London, concrete jungle where dreams are made of”, she sings. I’ve just checked Twitter, and Lee Mack seems to be the highest trending performer of the night. This is my proudest achievement, and a fitting high to go out on. You know, I’ve been writing this liveblog without a break for almost four hours and I haven’t used the term ‘Platty Joobs’ once.

Twenty-two thousand people will attend the event, including 10,000 members of the public who won tickets in the public ballot, which closed on 23 March. Over ...
