Last month, New York radio station Power 105.1 (WWPR)
announced singer Chris Brown would be headlining its Powerhouse
concert this year, marking his first major promotional event since his
February 8 altercation with ex-girlfriend Rihanna. Now, Jive
Records -- the label Brown is signed to -- has revealed that he will also be
going on a 19-city, small venue tour.
Dubbed the Fan Appreciation tour and aimed at acknowledging and
thanking Brown's fans for their support, the trek begins at the House of
Blues in Houston, TX, on November 14 and makes stops in
Los Angeles, Atlanta and Brown's hometown of Virginia,
before ending on December 13 in Philadelphia.
A portion of the proceeds from the tour will be donated to Best Buddies
International, a non-profit organization devoted to providing jobs and
leadership opportunities for people with developmental disabilities. The
Jenesse Center, a non-profit that provides culturally sensitive services to
strengthen families and is based in Los Angeles, will also receive a portion of
the proceeds.
As previously reported, Brown recently released his first official track, the
Swizz Beatz-produced "I Can Transform Ya," featuring Lil' Wayne.
The song is said to be the lead single from his upcoming album, Graffiti.
