Formed in the late 1970s The Tourists comprised of Peet Coombes, Eddie Chin, Annie Lennox, Dave Stewart and Jim Toomey. They produced three albums (The Tourists '79, Reality Effect' 79 and Luminous Basement '80) in the short time they were together and although not massive hits they were well received by the critics. They also released half a dozen singles.

Peet Coombes had been the main artistic driving force in the band but after the split it was Annie Lennox and Dave Stewart that came to the fore in their new band The Eurythmics.

Now I liked the Eurythmics and bought the records too but I was always disappointed that The Tourists split as I liked them a lot more. The Tourists seem mostly forgotten about today being overshadowed by the global success Annie and Dave achieved with The Eurythmics.

All these years later I still think The Tourists are a phenomenal and underrated band ; their music still rocks.

The 2022 United States Senate elections will be held on November 8, 2022, with 34 of the 100 seats in the Senate being contested in regular elections, the winners of which will serve six-year terms in the United States Congress from January 3, 2023, to January 3, 2029. Senators are divided into three groups, or classes, whose terms are staggered so that a different class is elected every two years. Class 3 senators, who were last elected in 2016, will be up for election again in 2022.

All 34 Class 3 Senate seats are up for election in 2022; Class 3 currently consists of 14 Democrats and 20 Republicans. Two special elections will also be held—in California to fill the final weeks of Kamala Harris's term[1] and in Oklahoma to serve the four remaining years of Jim Inhofe's term.

Six Republican senators, Richard Shelby (Alabama), Roy Blunt (Missouri), Richard Burr (North Carolina), Rob Portman (Ohio), Jim Inhofe (Oklahoma), Pat Toomey (Pennsylvania), as well as one Democratic senator, Patrick Leahy (Vermont), have announced that they are not seeking re-election; 15 Republicans and 13 Democrats are running for re-election.

Numerous other federal, state, and local elections, including the 2022 House elections, will also be held on this date. The winners of this election will serve beginning in the 118th United States Congress. Democrats have held a majority in the Senate since January 20, 2021, following the party's twin victories in the runoffs for Georgia's regularly-scheduled and special 2020 Senate elections, and the inauguration of Democrat Kamala Harris as vice president. There are 48 Democratic senators and two independent senators who caucus with them; with Harris's tie-breaking vote, the Democrats hold an effective 51-seat majority in the chamber.

This will be the first US Senate election in history in which multiple races are contested between two African-American nominees (Georgia and South Carolina).
