According to tour promoters, AEG, El DeBarge will not be on the tour, „due to personal reasons.‰

„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.

Musiq will appear on most „Intimacy‰ tour dates. 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 make stops at concert halls throughout North America, beginning on February 18 at the Verizon Theatre at Grand Prairie, Texas.
