ST. LOUIS, MO – February 14, 2011 – In a previous tour announcement, Universal Motown Records Grammy-nominated singer-songwriter-producer KEM confirmed headlining dates for his 2011 U.S. “Intimacy” tour with El DeBarge and Ledisi. Now, KEM has added Grammy-nominated artist and iconic soul superstar Musiq Soulchild to the line-up as a Special Guest. Musiq will replace El DeBarge and be featured on the tour, alongside Ledisi. According to tour promoters, AEG, El DeBarge will not be on the tour, “due to personal reasons.”

The “Intimacy” Tour, which took its name from the title of KEM’s critically acclaimed latest album, Intimacy, featuring the Grammy -nominated hit, “Why Would You Stay,” will stop at the Fabulous Fox Theatre on March 5 at 8 p.m. Tickets are on sale now and are $59.50, $49.50 and $39.50. Presented by AEG Live and Fox Concerts.

“It’s an honor to have an artist of Musiq’s caliber join me on the tour,” said KEM. “I’m looking forward to kicking off the tour with Musiq and Ledisi, to bring our fans an evening of Intimacy.”

Musiq recently earned a Grammy Award nomination in the “Best Male R&B Vocal Performance” category for his featured role on Kirk Whalum’s “We’re Still Friends.” He is slated to release his sixth album, “MUSIQINTHEMAGIQ" in May. Musiq also just released his highly anticipated first single from the album, "Anything," which features Swizz Beatz and was produced by Jerry "Wonda" Duplessis. Prior to “MUSIQINTHEMAGIQ," Musiq released five chart-topping studio albums.
