Much loved 60s pop group The Monkees are set for a reunion this summer, with all four members rumoured to be getting together for the first time since 1997.

As bandmates Davy Jones, Micky Dolenz and Peter Tork announced plans for a tour of the UK, sources claimed that fourth Monkee Mike Nesmith could also appear on stage with them.

It is forty years since Nesmith ­fell out with the band but the group did all perform together fourteen years ago at Wembley Arena.

A source said: "Mike loves the idea of joining his old friends on stage one more time. He hasn't signed a contract because he wants it to be a complete surprise."

The reunion tour will run from May 12 to May 25.
