Mary J. Blige Lines Up 18 Drama Dates

Country-crossing jaunt kicks off February 5.

Mary J. Blige will need a thorough travel agent if she truly wants No More Drama — she's about to live the life of an international playa.


M.J.B. is going on tour in support of her latest LP starting February 5 in Poughkeepsie, New York, and ending March 7 in Los Angeles. Blige will then head out for a series of overseas concerts that begins on March 13 in Tokyo, according to Blige's label, MCA Records. She returns Stateside following an April 25 show in England and plans to begin a second leg of concerts afterward.


"Going on tour and performing live is just as important to me as going into the studio and making an album," Blige said in a statement released Tuesday (January . "Giving my fans a live Mary show is not only for them, but for me. Having them there to cheer me on is what doing a tour is all about."


No announcement has been made yet as to who will be trekking the globe with Blige on her outing. Her latest single, the remix to her album's title cut, features P. Diddy.
