With his legal battles still looming, R. Kelly sets out to headline a new tour featuring Ne-Yo and J. Holiday.
The three R&B acts will kickoff their 39-date arena tour on November 14 in Columbus, GA, spending most of November and December on the road before concluding the tour on January 12 in Hampton, VA.
Although Kelly toured in Spring 2006 as part of the "Light It Up" Tour (under the name Mr. Showbiz), special permission was required in order for him to tour this Fall due to his upcoming child pornography trial in Chicago.
In August, Kelly shot down rumors of a tour with Keyshia Cole by releasing a statement."Reports that R. Kelly is planning a concert tour in October are not true," the statement read. "Kelly is currently focused on preparing for his trial and has no definite plans for anything beyond that."
The tour follows the release of R. Kelly's album, Double Up, which debuted at No. 1 on The Billboard 200 in June. According to Nielsen's SoundScan the album has moved 867,000 units domestically.
The tour also follows a recent release for Washington, D.C. native J. Holiday, whose album Back of My Lac dropped this Tuesday (10/2) via Music Line/Capitol Records and Ne-Yo's sophomore album Because of You.
