UPDATE: Billboard let go of an additional track, a live rendition of ‘I’m Glad You’re Mine’, which we’ve added below. You’re welcome.

D’Angelo To Release Expanded ‘Live At the Jazz Cafe’ Album
Spotted on Pitchfork…you can check out the full tracklisting below:
In 1996, in between D’Angelo’s 1995 record Brown Sugar and 2000’s Voodoo, the R&B singer released a six-track live EP in Japan that was never issued anywhere else. Now, on March 25, those recordings will finally get a wide release. Live at the Jazz Café, London: The Complete Show will be out through Virgin/UMe on CD and digital formats, expanded to include 11 songs from the set recoded on September 14, 1995.
D’Angelo covered Mandrill, Ohio Players, and Al Green at the show, and was accompanied by singer/rapper Angie Stone, who contributed backing vocals. The record includes a new essay by D’Angelo manager Alan Leeds as well as a translation of the Japanese liner notes, including a 1995 D’Angelo interview.

D’Angelo Cancels Shows Due To ‘Medical Emergency’
Taken from the L.A. Times:
A medical emergency has forced D’Angelo to cancel a handful of concert dates, including an appearance at San Francisco’s Outside Lands festival on Friday.
“He expresses his sincere regret due to this unfortunate circumstance,” festival organizers said in a statement Wednesday, announcing that Chic featuring Nile Rodgers would fill D’Angelo’s slot.
The R&B crooner — he’s been steadily building his much anticipated comeback for more than a year — canceled the string of shows after being stricken with an unspecified “medical emergency.”
Although no details have been released on his ailment, an agent for the singer told a House of Blues executive, “It’s serious, but he should be OK,” according to the Chicago Tribune.
Organizers of the Summer Spirit Festival said D’Angelo was in the hospital when he canceled his appearance last weekend. He was on the bill alongside Erykah Badu, Busta Rhymes and a slew of soul acts.
D’Angelo also scrapped shows in Chicago, Minneapolis, San Diego and New York.

In Part 2 of Let’s Talk About Prince, Questlove and D’Angelo reveal that the guiding spirit that brought these “Brothers In Arms” together was none other than a Prince song that Questlove snuck into a performance by The Roots in L.A. the very first time he and D’Angelo met.
