Diana’s Music Legacy Tour, which played in Europe and the United Kingdom last year, continues across the United States with shows in eight cities over 11 days in May, a grueling pace at any age.

He is worth an estimated £200million and has mansions in Los Angeles, Connecticut and Florida, but looking back on his career, he insists: “I didn’t do it for the money.” I did it for the love of work, of singing.’
Diana attributes her youthful appearance to a healthy lifestyle.

“I never like to consider myself beautiful,” she once said. ‘I like to consider myself healthy. Beauty comes from being healthy. It means being a good person, having integrity and loyalty and being faithful to your work.’
She watches her diet carefully, having become anorexic in the 1960s when the Supremes became caught up in warring egos, despite hits like Baby Love and Stop! In the name of love.
“Sometimes the stress was so intense that I couldn’t eat,” he confessed. “I just couldn’t swallow anything.”

Portrayed by her fellow Supremes as conceited and manipulative, leaving the group to further her own career, Diana responded: “People will always try to blame someone else for the fact that their life isn’t working out.”
