Morris is not an original member, but he joined the group in 2019.

Makes more sense with that info.

Exactly. If some dude came in and said he joined a band in 2019 that most people only recognize from the 50s, I'd think he was crazy too.

Imagine a bit into the future and your child has become a nurse. Then you hear that at the hospital the other day your child sedated Neil Diamond and threw a urinary catheter in him.

Edit: I was scrolling through my posts looking for life validation and realised I should add that sedation and catheterization are my invention and I knew nothing further of the story at the time of writing than what this headline said.

For every person legitimately claiming to be a member of the Four Tops, there are thousands who say the wildest, delusional shit about knowing famous people/being famous.
