GRAMMY Award-winning pop singer Lionel Richie said yesterday he and the Commodores would reunite soon for a tour.
Richie said a reunion could happen in the next two years, before the group lost more members. Guitarist Milan Williams died two years ago.
"We better do it now, or in the next 10 years nobody would care," he said before singing at Antigua's Romantic Rhythms festival. The Commodores had hits such as Three Times a Lady, Nightshift, Easy and Brick House.
Richie, 58, was confident that synergy still existed between band members. He said Commodores' bass player Ronald La Pread joined him on stage during his last tour and played some of the group's old hits.
Richie broke from the Commodores in the late '70s and topped the charts in the '80s with songs such as Endless Love and Say You, Say Me.
