LL Cool J Joins Janet Jackson's Goofy Named Tour

09/05/2008
.
(PR) Janet Jackson announced today that LL Cool J will join her upcoming Rock Witchu tour. The Live Nation produced tour begins September 10th at the GM Place in Vancouver, with LL Cool J joining on September 25th at the All State Arena in Chicago, IL.

Each artist has left an indelible mark on music and pop culture, with massive sales, hits songs, awards and innovation while breaking records and making history along the way. Tickets are available now at www.LiveNation.com. The newly announced Madison Square Garden show goes on sale Friday, September 5th at 10 AM.

For LL Cool J, the Rock Witchu tour will coincide with the release of his 13th album, Exit 13, set for release on September 9th. What began for LL Cool J in the nascent, burgeoning rap and hip hop scene of the 80's, has now seeped throughout the musical and cultural phenomenon that is today's hip hop. All the while, LL Cool J has remained a musical and cultural force, a living icon and a significant, relevant artist still churning out the hits. First introduced to the world in 1984 as a Def Jam Records flagship artist, LL is the first rap artist to amass ten consecutive platinum-plus selling albums, while 2004's "THE DEFinition" and 2006's "Todd Smith" both went Gold. He is currently tied for third place for most Billboard chart debuts by a rapper.

This is Janet Jackson’s first tour in over seven years and is expected to feature the hit songs and innovative dance routines that have made her one of the most celebrated artists in history. She has sold more than 100 million albums worldwide and, having achieved the number one spot on Billboard Magazine’s Top 200 Album Chart 6 times, is among just 3 female artists that have achieved such status. She is the only performer male or female to be nominated for Grammy Awards in each of the Pop, Rock, Dance, Rap and R&B categories, and the first female recording artist of color to be nominated for a Producer of the Year Grammy. With literally hundreds of awards and nominations from everyone from the American Music Awards, where she holds the title for most nominations from one album, to MTV, where she was awarded the first ICON award, to the Academy Awards, Golden Globes, Radio Music Awards, World Music Awards, Billboard, Rolling Stone, NAACP, etc., the recognitions of her musical contributions are astounding.

Additional information on the tour can be found at www.JanetFanClub.com, Janet’s dedicated Rock Witchu tour website, and www.LiveNation.com.
