Kanye West names tour
Kanye West has revealed details of his forthcoming tour.
The star is calling it the Glow In The Dark Tour, and has hired Madonna's choreographer Jamie King to lend a hand.
"I saw the last Madonna concert - (King) did the last Madonna concerts and so I've been sitting down vibing with him, 'cause I want to bring the level of entertainment up another level," West told MTV.com.
"At the end of the day, regardless of the 'he said/she said,' regardless of whatever shit I talk, whatever shit anybody else talks -- come to the show and have a good time," West said.
The dates of the tour have not yet been confirmed, but his new album, 'Graduation', is due out in the US in September. |

Phil Spector continues work in studio during trial
Phil Spector is continuing his producing work throughout his trial for murder.
The legendary music producer is working with new solo artist Hargo, whom he met at his Alhambra mansion where actress Lana Clarkson was shot dead in February 2003.
Spector told Hargo "You remind me of a young John Lennon" and ditched scheduled production work with The Vines in order to work with the solo newbie.
Spector has been working with Hargo in the studio and evenings after his sessions in court, and a track entitled 'Crying for John Lennon' will feature in the upcoming Lennon documentary 'Strawberry Fields' Keeping the Spirit of John Lennon Alive', which features an interview with Spector recorded in February of this year.
According to Spector, "It's a wonderful song. Actually it sounds like something John would have given me produce back in the day."
Meanwhile, Spector's trial continues today. Stay tuned to NME.COM for daily updates from the courtroom. |
