James Taylor, Carole King for world tour

James Taylor and Carole King are to tour together next year, according to reports.

The singers said that the forthcoming jaunt recalls the first time that they both played Los Angeles' Troubador Club in 1970, where King made her debut as a solo artist and Taylor had just released the songs 'Carolina On My Mind' and 'Something In The Way She Moves'.

The pair reunited at the club two years ago to celebrate its 50th anniversary.

The seven-date tour will kick off in Australia in March. More shows are still to be confirmed.
