R. Kelly will launch a U.S. tour this spring, and he'll be bringing along some high profile help when he does.

The self-proclaimed King of R&B will bring Foxy Brown, Busta Rhymes, and Deborah Cox on the road with him when he hits the road May 5 at the Coliseum in Richmond, Virginia. Tour organizers may add one or two more acts to the bill before cracking a two-month itinerary that is expected to play 12-22,000 seat venues in some 30 cities.

A final schedule has yet to be finalized, but the tour is expected to hit Philadelphia, New York, Chicago, Memphis, Tampa, Phoenix, Vancouver, and Seattle along the way. Tickets for the first five markets on the tour will go on sale by March 19.

More information on the tour and its itinerary will be announced later this week.
