On the back of the album they are preparing together, the young singer Droop Lion will tour with the Gladiators.
A legendary name from which Clinton Fearon and Albert Griffiths must be subtracted, but with Clinton Rufus, Gallimore Sutherland, Vernon Sutherland on keyboards and Anthony Griffiths (one of Albert Griffiths' sons) on drums.
Produced by Clive Hunt and Cabel Stephenson, this new album will feature covers of Gladiators classics (Jah Works, Naturality, Hello Carol) and original compositions, such as Ghetto Life.
In early February, they can be heard on stage as part of a fine European tour, the second for Droop Lion after opening for Capleton in 2013.
