Six-time Grammy Award-winning, multi-platinum artists The Black Eyed Peas have just announced that special guest multi-platinum superstar T-Pain will join them for select dates on the second North American leg of their acclaimed BlackBerry® Presents “The E.N.D. World Tour 2010,” including the St. Louis show on Saturday, August 14th at Scottrade Center. The summer trek is supported by BACARDI® Rum, the official spirit of the tour and Outspoken by Fergie, the exclusive fragrance by Avon. Tickets are on sale now.
BlackBerry Presents “The E.N.D. World Tour 2010,” has been described as “pop’s latest sci-fi spectacle” by the New York Times, while US Magazine raved that the tour is a “futuristic bash full of unstoppable hits, high-energy fun and some killer solo interludes….” Kansas City Star noted that “everyone got what he or she asked for: nearly two hours of hits, glitz and glamour” and The Orange County Register praised The Peas performance of “radio-ready smash after smash.”
BlackBerry Presents “The E.N.D. World Tour 2010” is in support of The E.N.D., The Black Eyed Peas’ multi-platinum #1 album, and marks the first time that will.i.am, apl.de.ap, Taboo and Fergie are united for North American headline dates since their 2006 Monkey Business world tour. The Black Eyed Peas launched their worldwide trek just days after their 2010 triple Grammy Award win -- The E.N.D. won for Best Pop Vocal Album, while its first single “Boom Boom Pow” won Best Short Form Music Video, and its second single “I Gotta Feeling” won for Best Pop Performance by a Duo or Group. To date, The E.N.D. has sold over 2.6 million copies in the U.S., and over 6.5 million copies worldwide, while spending 52 weeks on the Billboard 200 chart. It is also the first album in two decades by a duo or group to yield five Top 10 songs on Billboard’s Hot 100 chart, including three #1 hits “Boom Boom Pow,” “I Gotta Feeling,” and “Imma Be,” #7 "Meet Me Halfway" and current #9 track “Rock That Body.” In addition, “I Gotta Feeling.” is currently the best-selling digital song in SoundScan history, as recently reported in Billboard.
Singer, rapper, producer and actor T-Pain first gained recognition with his 2005 debut, Rappa Ternt Sanga, and subsequently lent his signature Auto-Tune voice to a wide array of charting rap singles by leading artists. In 2008, he won the Grammy Award for Best Rap Song for the single "Good Life" featuring Kanye West, followed by a 2010 Grammy win for Best R&B Performance By a Duo or Group for his collaboration with singer Jamie Foxx, "Blame It." T-Pain was featured on this year’s "We Are the World 25 for Haiti" track, alongside such stars as will.i.am, Tony Bennett, Justin Bieber, Snoop Dogg, the Jonas Brothers, Miley Cyrus and many more. T-Pain is currently previewing his upcoming album, RevolveR, with the single “Best Love Song”. For more information, visit www.t-pain.com.
