Charlie Wilson's national tour Forever Charlie will kick off on February 12 in Cleveland, Ohio. Charlie Wilson's new single "Goodnight Kisses" was the #1 most added song at Urban Radio and Billboard says about the single "...Over snap-and-swing doo-wop-inspired production, the GAP Band co-founder sings sweetly about his loved one's smoochies. Wilson is still as convincing a romantic as ever."

Charlie is joined on tour by KEM and Joe. KEM's first three studio albums on the Motown label garnered him national critical and commercial acclaim, including two GRAMMY nominations, a Soul Train award nomination and a BET Centric Award nomination. Joe will perform selections from his new album Bridges along with his classic hits. The Forever Charlie Tour will truly be the "R&B Event of 2015".

"I am so glad to be on the road once again and to bring my show to so many cities across the country. It's going to be a special night for all the ladies that will join me and my special guests!" says Charlie Wilson. "I am looking forward to sharing the stage with my two talented friends KEM and Joe. They are both artists that I admire and am honored to have them on my tour. We are planning a show the audience won't ever forget."

Wilson has received seven Grammy nominations and multiple awards throughout his career; he was named Billboard magazine's #1 Adult R&B Artist and has had eight #1 records that topped the Billboard Urban Adult Contemporary radio chart including, "Without You," "Charlie, Last Name Wilson," "Magic," "There Goes My Baby," "Can't Live Without You," "You Are," "Life of the Party" and "My Love Is All I Have." Most recently, Wilson received a Grammy nomination for the songs "If I Believe" in the Gospel category; he was also an NAACP Outstanding Album Award winner for the album Love, Charlie and BET presented to Wilson a Lifetime Achievement Award in 2013.
