Beyoncé’s Renaissance Tour is one of the hottest events of the year. A 57-stop tour across Europe and North America to further the success of her smash-hit album of the same name. Currently, Queen Bey has hit Sweden, Belgium, Wales, northern England, and France. Furthermore, she is set to make a five-concert stop in London next week. She has already been breaking records, such as marking the large audience for a female act this century at King Baudouin Stadium in Brussels. Furthermore, she became the first act in history to sell out Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London.
Obviously, everyone who is anyone is eager to see Beyoncé live and it should be expected that a lot of famous faces will be in attendance, especially when the US leg of the tour starts in July. However, it appears that at least one famous face couldn’t wait until Beyoncé was back in the States.

As mentioned, Beyoncé returns to the stage on May 29 with the first of five shows at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London. Following that, she remains in Europe for the rest of June. Her tour schedule for the month, excluding London, sees her hit seven cities in five countries. This schedule takes her as far east as Warsaw and as far south as Barcelona. After that, Beyoncé makes landfall in North America with two shows in Toronto starting on July 8. Are you hitting up the Renaissance Tour? Let us know in the comments below.
10cc drummer Paul Burgess has announced that he is leaving the band because the demands of touring have become too much for him.
The 75-year-old musician, who also spent time performing with Jethro Tull, Camel, Magna Carta, and The Icicle Works, has chosen to walk away from the legendary rock group after more than five decades.
He shared: “After so many wonderful years with 10cc, I must admit that the rigours of touring are no longer manageable for me as I get older, and I feel it’s time to let go of the long hours in airports and endless travel on buses.
“I’m not planning to stop playing altogether. I will still perform but at a pace that feels right, working alongside old friends and a new group of fellow musicians called The Guilty Men.”
Frontman Graham Gouldman confessed that it will feel unusual to perform without his “longest-running musical associate.”
He explained: “When Paul and I first joined forces in 10cc, we never could have imagined that we’d still be at it after 30 years, let alone 52.
“Paul has been my longest musical partner and it will feel different to turn around and see another drummer, but I completely understand why he no longer wants to sit on a plane for 14 hours or wake up in a new hotel every day for weeks at a time.”
Ben Stone, who has previously played with Mike and The Mechanics and Bonnie Tyler, will be taking over on drums.
Paul, who had several runs with 10cc after joining in 1973, performed his final show with the I’m Not In Love band in Alexandria, Virginia this past September.
The group is set to continue their And Another Bloody Greatest Hits Tour in the UK next year.
