Singer Ian Hunter wrote on his website that the group's original members will reform on October 2 and October 3 for the London dates.
Hunter's post reads: "It will be the original members - Mick, Pete, Phally, Buff and me. Why are we doing it? I can't speak for the others, but I'm doing it just to see what it's like. Short of war, death, famine etc. ...it's on."
The group, best known for their song 'All The Young Dudes', formed in 1969 and remained together until 1974. The performances will mark the first time the original lineup has worked together in 35 years.
