Editing Mott the Hoople (section)

===2018 dates===
In February 2018, it was announced that Mott the Hoople would be playing several European dates in the summer of 2018. Ian Hunter would be joined by former bandmates Morgan Fisher on keyboards and Ariel Bender on guitar. In a press release, Hunter said "[Fisher and Bender] toured extensively with Mott and both were featured heavily on ''The Hoople'' album after Mick Ralphs and Verden Allen left the band... I know many people were disappointed when neither appeared on the 2009 and 2013 get-togethers. Hope this makes up for it!"<ref>{{cite web | url=http://ultimateclassicrock.com/mott-the-hoople-reunion-2018/ | title=Mott the Hoople announce rare reunion | publisher=Ultimate Classic Rock | date=9 February 2018 | access-date=14 February 2018 | author=Deriso, Nick}}</ref> The line-up would also include James Mastro and Mark Bosch on guitars, Dennis DiBrizzi on keyboards, Paul Page on bass, and [[Steve Holley]] on drums.
