Mary J.Blige has announced a “really special” arena tour.
The 53-year-old singer will tour the US in 2025 to celebrate the release of her new album, Gratitude. She will go on the road with NE-YO who appears on her 2022 album, Good Morning Gorgeous, as well as Mario.
The Grammy-award-winning star dedicated the upcoming tour to her fans.
“This tour is for them, and I cannot wait to be able to travel to all these cities and see everyone,” she said. “I am in such a place of immense gratitude and peace at this moment, so also having the chance to release my new album Gratitude on November 15th ahead of this tour is really special to me.”
Gratitude is the first album released under the singer’s own record label, Beautiful Life Productions, which was founded in 2023.
In October, the R&B star is set to be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Other stars to be inducted this year include Cher, Foreigner, Kool & the Gang and Ozzy Osbourne.
“This is incredible!!!” Mary posted on social media after it was announced. “To all my fans who have rocked with me from the beginning, thank you. God always has the final say!!!! Thank you to my fans all over the world!!!! Tears of Joy!!!!”
The Gratitude tour will kick off on 30 January in North Carolina, and includes a show at Madison Square Garden.
