R Kelly announces cruise
By CMU Editorial | Published on Thursday 15 December 2011
How about an R Kelly cruise then? Well, people, you’re in luck, because the R&B singer has announced a partnership with a company called Concert Cruises giving his fans the chance to join him at sea.
The special ‘Love Letter Cruise’, named after Kelly’s 2010 album, will tour The Bahamas and feature a performance by the man himself. The first such cruise will take place next October, with tickets from $999 to $2999. The jaunt will hopefully prove lucrative for Kelly, because he could do with the cash. The singer has reportedly put his Chicago home on the market to avoid having it repossessed, according to the Chicago Tribune.
It was reported that Kelly had defaulted on his mortgage with JPMorgan Chase Bank back in June and was facing foreclosure. The property is now on the market for $1.6 million. He is also facing a tax bill of $837,000, so bring on the cruising I say.
