Siblings Joni, Debbie and Kim (otherwise know as Sister Sledge) who rose to fame with hits including ‘We Are Family’ and ‘Lost in Music’ have revealed that they have been approached to work on a new musical to celebrate the girl band’s rise to fame.

Interacting with the media along the red carpet of Thursday’s star-studded Collars & Coats Gala Ball at the iconic Battersea Evolution in London, Joni revealed “We were recently approached by a theatre producer in Chicago about doing a girl’s group musical, and I think that this would be fantastic.”  

The sisters have also revealed that they would ‘absolutely love’ to take the idea to a London stage and follow in the footsteps of hit musicals such as Thriller, Mamma Mia! and Motown the Musical.

The group members were in London to perform their very best hits at the annual ball in aid of the Battersea Dogs & Cats Home.

Speaking of their association with the charity, the sisters said: “We were delighted and honoured to headline the Collars & Coats Gala Ball. Battersea Dogs & Cats Home’s work in transforming the lives of abandoned pets is incredible. We feel privileged to collaborate with such an organisation, which has committed to providing care, love and respect for vulnerable animals for over 150 years. These are three principles we have lived by throughout our lives and careers and strive to defend though our music.”
