By: Kelsey Denette
After two sold out back-to-back Fox Theatre shows last year and on the heels of becoming the most nominated artist in Soul Train Award history, R. Kelly will return to the Fox for "The Single Ladies Tour" on Saturday, November 17 at 8 p.m. with special guest, four-time Grammy nominee, Tamia.
Tickets ($48.50, $68.50, $88.50 and $105) go on sale Friday, October 5 at 10 a.m. and can be purchased at OlympiaEntertainment.com, The Fox Theatre and Joe Louis Arena box offices, Hockeytown Authentics in Troy (without service charge) at all Ticketmaster locations and Ticketmaster.com. To charge tickets by phone, call (800) 745-3000. For additional information, call (313) 471-6611. No stranger to superstar success, R. Kelly has seen a year filled with tremendous achievements including release of the critically acclaimed album Write Me Back, a soulful memoir Soulacoaster: The Diary of Me, an extraordinary soundtrack producer role on Whitney Houston's final film Sparkle, and production of the next installment of his cultural phenomenon Trapped In The Closet. Following that, it's not surprising this R&B icon announced he'll host the ultimate girls (and guys) night out on "The Single Ladies Tour" ; traveling through more than 20 cities.One of the most successful R&B artists of all time, R. Kelly has sold more than 50 million albums worldwide, has won 3 Grammy Awards, 6 American Music Awards, 6 Billboard Awards, and 8 Soul Train Awards. He has performed sold out shows across the globe. His latest album, Write Me Back, is a follow-up to 2010's Love Letter and follows the natural progression of R. Kelly's musical time machine featuring the sultry and seductive sounds associated with legends like Barry White and Marvin Gaye.
