Justin Timberlake & Jay-Z to embark on a 10-date tour

Music powerhouses Jay-Z and Justin Timberlake are rumoured to be incredibly close to announcing a joint US-tour. The rapper will join the singer (whose new single ‘Suit & Tie’ also features the Brooklyn king of hip-hop) on a 10-night stint across major cities in the US, and likely to be this year.

According to the New York Times:

“After teaming up at the Super Bowl and at the Grammys, Justin Timberlake and Jay-Z will launch a 10-city stadium tour together, we hear. Timberlake was joined by Jay-Z at the music awards show Sunday to perform his new track “Suit & Tie” — and we’re told they’ll be dusting off those dapper Tom Ford tuxes for a full-blown tour. JT and wife Jessica Biel even sat at the show with Jay-Z and Beyoncé. The “Hot Back” singer hinted there will be “big news coming” after the Grammys via Twitter, and he admitted on the red carpet, according to a report, “We’re definitely going to go on tour . . . I don’t know how much I should say . . . It’s going to be a lot of fun, I know that.” JT didn’t reveal who “we” was, but our sources say it’s the “Watch the Throne” rapper.”

This is exciting news indeed. What with the Wireless Festival also announcing a ‘massive surprise’ this week, fingers crossed it’ll be these two also embarking on a trip to good old Blighty.

More news as and when we get it. And to leave you a taster, here are Messrs Timberlake & Zed doing their thing on Sunday night’s Grammy Awards:
