Editing Mott the Hoople (section)

===2019 dates===
In January 2019, the band announced the "Tax the Heat" tour, a brief six-show UK tour in April 2019, preceded by an eight-date tour of the US as "Mott the Hoople '74" (which began on 1 April and concluded on 10 April at the [[Beacon Theatre (New York City)|Beacon Theatre]] in [[New York City]]). This was the first time in 45 years that Mott the Hoople had toured the US. Indeed, the core '74 members Ian Hunter, Ariel Bender and Morgan Fisher celebrated the 45th anniversary of their 1974 US tour (hence the name of the bill), as well as the original release of ''[[The Hoople]]'' and ''[[Live (Mott the Hoople album)|Live]]'', the final albums of the classic Mott the Hoople era. The band includes Ian Hunter (vocals and guitar), Ariel Bender (guitar) and Morgan Fisher (keyboards) joined by&nbsp;James Mastro (guitar, saxophone, mandolin), Steve Holley (drums, backing vocals), Mark Bosch (guitar), Paul Page (bass) and Dennis Dibrizzi (keyboards, backing vocals).<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.musicnewsnet.com/2019/01/music-news-this-april-mott-the-hoople-74-will-tour-the-usa-for-the-first-time-in-45-years-after-their-brief-6-show.html|title=Mott the Hoople to Tour the USA After 45yr Absence|website=Music News Net|access-date=22 May 2019}}</ref>
