Luke James has announced that he will be the supporting act for Beyonce for the North American leg of her Mrs. Carter Show World Tour 2013 this summer.
James previously opened for Beyonce in Europe and rejoined her on the road when the tour kicked off on June 29th in Las Vegas at the MGM Grand Arena.
"I am so honored and humbled that Beyonce personally chose me to share the stage with her again," said James. "Being on tour overseas with Beyonce was magical! I learned so much from her in Europe. Her artistry, professionalism and work ethic are incomparable."
"She and Jay-Z gave me great advice about perfecting my live show and connecting with the audience. I am really looking forward to bringing that same energy and performance that I delivered overseas to the U.S. audience."
"Luke James is pure talent," said Beyonce. “He is a gifted singer and songwriter. I am excited to have him continue on the tour.”
