Lil Wayne's “America’s Most Wanted Tour”
Weezy had been released from Cedars-Sinai hospital in Los Angeles and has announced his 2013 tour.
His tenth studio album, I Am Not A Human Being II, releases March 26.
Via NSFW video on Wednesday, the rapper told fans “I just want to say thank you to all y’all for y’all prayers and your concerns and all of that. I swear to God I felt that love when I was laid up in that ... hospital bed. But I want all y’all to know that I’m good … more than good.”
Dates and venues to follow.
Pink Won't Stop
Pink has booked more than two dozen additional dates for her “The Truth About Love Tour.”
Here’s what the Los Angeles Times had to say about Pink’s Feb. 16 gig at Staples Center: “Pink remains perhaps the most gifted and imaginative physical performer in pop right now. Her aerials make terrestrial-bound dancing feel, if not trivial, than certainly a little too safe. She spent a good half of Saturday’s show lashed to gyroscopes, hanging from ribbons or being tossed by the scruff of her neck into piles of dancers.”
