LL Cool J's 65th Grammys Performance
The rescheduled dates come after LL Cool J postponed his tour to ensure he could give fans an "unforgettable" show. “I have to give my fans an experience that is unforgettable,” he wrote on Instagram at the time. “I want to make sure everything is done right, and in order to do that, I had to change some things up.” The original schedule would've had the tour start on June 25 at Boston’s TD Garden before wrapping up in Los Angeles on September 3.
As for what fans can expect from the shows, Questlove compared it to the star-studded Hip-Hop 50th anniversary Grammys performance. “I’m not trying to reinvent the wheel,” Questlove said on Instagram Live back in April. “But, I’m also trying to give people something that they’ve never seen before…the way we’re formatting the show, it’s going to be like the Grammys performance on steroids.” Check out the full list of rescheduled dates for the F.O.R.C.E.
