The Four Tops Announce New Album ‘Changing Times’ and 2025 World Tour
In an exciting development for fans worldwide, The Four Tops have announced the release of their new album, Changing Times, scheduled for February 14, 2025. This marks their first studio album in several years, offering a fresh collection of soulful melodies that honor their rich musical heritage. The album will be available on vinyl LP through Elemental Music.
To complement the album release, The Four Tops are embarking on a global tour in 2025, celebrating their enduring legacy and the timeless appeal of Motown music. The tour will feature co-headlining performances with The Temptations, another iconic Motown group, providing fans with an unforgettable experience of classic hits and dynamic performances. The tour is set to begin on April 10, 2025, in Cleveland, Ohio, and will include stops in major cities across North America, Europe, Australia, and Asia.
These developments come after a period of transition for The Four Tops. In July 2024, Abdul “Duke” Fakir, the last surviving original member, retired at the age of 88. His departure marked the end of an era for the group, which had been performing together for nearly seven decades. The current lineup now includes Alexander Morris, Ronnie McNeir, Lawrence Payton Jr., and Michael Brock, who joined the group following Fakir’s retirement.
The announcement of the new album and world tour has generated significant excitement among fans and music enthusiasts. Tickets for the tour are expected to go on sale in the coming months, with further details to be announced on the official websites of The Four Tops and The Temptations.
For fans in Lagos, Nigeria, this tour presents a unique opportunity to experience the soulful sounds of The Four Tops live. While specific dates and venues in Africa have yet to be confirmed, fans are encouraged to monitor official announcements for updates on international tour dates.
The release of Changing Times and the accompanying world tour underscore The Four Tops’ commitment to preserving the legacy of Motown music while introducing their timeless sound to new audiences around
the globe.
