Eurythmics fans, get excited: The iconic pop duo is set to make £100million to reform for a world tour, according to reports.
Rumours are rife the Sweet Dreams duo Annie Lennox and Dave Stewart have been asked by promotors to go on the road together for the first time in over 20 years.
The former couple and musical collaborators went their separate ways in 1990, but have reunited several times, most recently earlier this year to perform at their induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.
Seeing the reaction to the performance, music promotors are apparently trying to convince them to tour again.
A new album could be on the way while reports say close to £100m has been offered for 40 tour dates.
‘Eurythmics have been offered a huge amount to reform for a world tour,’ a source told the Sunday Mirror.

‘Seeing them perform together again at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame has really stirred the interests of promoters who are throwing money at the band to hit the road again. Nothing is off the table, including a brand new studio album.’
‘It is very early days but everyone is excited to bring the project to life,’ the source added.
Dave, 70, told Metro.co.uk earlier year he finds performing with Annie, 67, a rollercoaster, and an ‘exhausting emotional experience’ because of their former relationship.
‘It’s a rollercoaster because of the emotional connection between Annie and myself. People cry at some songs and it’s an exhausting emotional experience for Annie singing too,’ he said.

‘A lot of the songs we’ve written together are about us being together. So it’s not a straightforward concert going outwards to the audience – it’s like going inwards to us as well, as a duo or a couple.’
The songwriter, who has two adult kids Sam and Django with ex, Bananarama Siobhan Fahey, and two daughters Kaya and Indya with his current wife Anoushka Fisz – says their dynamic is ‘unusual’ in this sense.

‘Usually a couple are in a band together, the band gets successful and then they break up. Ours was the other way around – we were a couple and in a band but didn’t write any of the songs for it or while we were living together.
‘Then we decided not to be together, formed Eurythmics and wrote about 140 songs about it,’ he said.
