Legendary rap collective Wu Tang Clan have confirmed that they will reform for two UK gigs in July to support their forthcoming album A Better Tomorrow - which is also set to be released this summer.
The entire hip-hop group which consists of RZA, GZA, Raekwon, U-God, Ghostface Killah, Inspectah Deck, Method Man and Masta Killah will take to the stage at Manchester's O2 Apollo on July 25 before heading to Brixton O2 Academy in London on July 26.
Wu Tang rapper RZA said: "We need to, one time, completely, efficiently, properly, professionally represent our brand. One more time. But this time, showing up on time for press and for concerts and studio. Do it one time, perfect."
Wu Tang Clan's forthcoming album - named after a track from their 1997 album Wu-Tang Forever - is set for release in July and RZA wants to make sure the last time the group reunite is "perfect".

He added: "There's enough of us still alive, and I think there's still enough fans out there.
"Hip-hop is stronger than ever, as far as worldwide recognition, and our name is synonymous with it."
