MONKEE BUSINESS THE MUSICAL Releases Statement on Davy Jones' Death

By:

The producers of the brand new musical Monkee Business have paid tribute to The Monkees' Davy Jones, who passed away this week.

The show, announced last November by The Ambassador Theatre Group and Michael Rose Limited, opens at the Opera House, Manchester, later this month, before playing Glasgow Kings Theatre and the Sunderland Empire.

It features the hits of The Monkees, of which Manchester-born Davy Jones was an integral part – singing lead vocals on many Monkees songs like Daydream Believer.

The producers of Monkee Business the Musical said: "We are all deeply shocked and saddened to hear about the death of Davy Jones. He was a wonderfully talented musician and his songs brought happiness to millions of people around the world. We hope that Monkee Business the Musical will be seen as it was always intended, a loving tribute to all of The Monkees and a celebration of their lives and careers. Our thoughts and prayers are with Davy's family and friends at this sad time.

"The Manchester run will be dedicated to Davy, his talent, work and music and the laughter and fun they created for the youngsters of the time, and subsequent generations who have discovered and loved them too."
