Mott the Hoople are an English rock band best known for their 1972 song "All the Young Dudes," which was written by David Bowie.
To celebrate their 40th anniversary, Mott the Hoople will be playing two concerts in London this coming October. It will be the first time in 35 years the band's original lineup has performed together.

Background
The song "All the Young Dudes," and the album of the same name, was the band's career high point, as the David Bowie-penned tune represented the lion's share of any chart success they would enjoy.Singer Ian Hunter left the band in 1974. He went on to have a notable solo career (he wrote the future Great White hit "Once Bitten, Twice Shy"), and guitarist Mick Ralphs, who left the band in 1973, formed the hugely successful classic rock band Bad Company.
