Alicia Keys Joins SB Madness+Announces Tour

During the Super Bowl XLll press conference today Alicia Keys revealed that not only is she joining the performance line-up for the big football event, but will also be heading out on the road for her “As I Am” Tour- which will be sponsored by Lexus. The tour will build upon the success of Alicia’s latest CD which has already sold- get this- over 3 million copies since it was released back in November. The tour will kick off in Europe on February 25th and make stops in Paris, Milan and Zurich. The U.S. and Canadian parts of the tour kick off on April 19th in Hampton, Virginia and continue throughout the early summer. Alicia’s “As I Am” tour will visually step it up a notch as the singer has called upon iconic designer Giorgio Armani to create a custom wardrobe for the her, which I suspect will rival that of the great Cher, Tina Turner and Janet Jackson. Look for Alicia in the meantime to perform at the SUPER BOWL XLII PREGAME SHOW at the University of Phoenix Stadium in Arizona, which will air live on Fox, Sunday, February 3rd.
