Akon Plans World Tour, Whitney Collabo for 2007
The West African singer told Billboard.com that the tour will begin in Africa, where he is a superstar, before hitting Europe and the United States. When asked who will be his supporting acts, Akon offered nothing specific. “We’ll probably get the hottest acts in whatever region we’re in,” he said.
Akon was also excited about a pending collaboration with Whitney Houston. While there was no mention to how much work he’ll do on her next album, Akon’s vision is clearly larger than just a song or two. "She's been through a lot and has a dark history," Akon said. “So we've got to make the album brighter because she's come out of the cave now.”
Akon was mum, however, on rumors of collaborations with Michael Jackson and Elton John.
