Cee Lo Green Drops Out Of Rihanna’s Tour
From Rap-Up:
Fans who’ve yet to catch Rihanna’s “LOUD†tour won’t be hearing the soulful sounds of Cee Lo Green. The “F**k You†singer has exited from the pop star’s tour due to a busy schedule.
A rep for Cee Lo’s management told The New York Times that the Lady Killer’s hectic schedule including coaching gig on NBC’s hit show “The Voice†and preparations for a book and new music have cut into his time. He also recently announced that he and Danger Mouse were recording a new Gnarls Barkley album.
“He always puts 100 percent into his work and with the requirements and time commitment to ‘The Voice,’ on top of heading back into the recording studio and an upcoming book, he feels that he wouldn’t give his fans the show that they deserve,†stated his spokesperson.
Roc Nation rapper J. Cole remains the supporting act on Rihanna’s tour, which touches down in Los Angeles, Atlanta, and New York over the next few weeks.
