Gladys Knight, 80, looked absolutely incredible in a tanned co-ord and fresh trainers.

She beamed for the cameras as she attended day eleven of the Wimbledon Tennis Championships in London.

Showing no signs of aging, Gladys’ skin glowed.

She framed her eyes with thick lashes and added a red gloss to her lips.

The iconic singer pulled her long raven hair away from her face with a headband.

She is currently on her Farewell Tour which she started in June.

Gladys, also known as the Empress of Soul, first burst onto the music scene with her family group Gladys Knight and the Pips.

They enjoyed huge success through to the late 80s with hits including Midnight Train to Georgia before Gladys, embarked on a solo career.

In 1985 Gladys teamed up with Dionne Warwick, Elton John and Stevie Wonder for the Grammy-winning AIDS benefit single That’s What Friends are For.

Gladys is a 10-time Grammy winner and her last studio album, Where my Heart Belongs, was released in 2014.

Away from music, Gladys has been married four times and has three grown up children.

She previously opened up about battling a gambling addiction in the 80s, which saw her lose nearly £50k in one night.

Detailing the night she decided to make a change, Gladys said previously: “Within 25, 30 minutes, I had won 60 grand.

“And I sat right at that table and gave every dime of it back. And I just got sick at the table.

“And I got up, went to the phone and called Gamblers Anonymous. And the lady on the phone said, “Where are you? We’ll come get you.”
