Destination Manchester

SHE’S probably best known for her time in American supergroup Destiny’s Child and her covert marriage to global rapper Jay-Z but after her stunning performance on the “X Factor” final, Beyonce proved she’s hot in her own right.

The sassy songstress duetted with eventual winner Alexandra Burke before taking to the stage on her own with new single “If I Were A Boy” to the clear delight of the celebrity-packed audience.

And her timing was impeccable as the amazing performance came only days before she announced a UK and European tour making sure tickets sell like hot cakes.

The tour marks the release of hotly anticipated double album “I Am Sasha Fierce” which has topped the charts around the world.

But the diva promises to bring a mix of old and new when she comes to town with her all-female backing band.

The tour kicks-off in Croatia on April 26 before coming to the UK in May, finally getting to the Manchester Arena on May 27.

Tickets are £49.50 and you can get yours by calling 08444-775 775 or visiting www.aeglive.co.uk.
