A bad shoulder has put the Bad Boy Family Reunion Tour on hold, but only for a week.
Bad Boy rapper and label exec Sean “Puff Daddy” Combs is recovering from shoulder surgery and needs the extra time “to recover and give fans the incredible stage experience they have come to expect from a Puff Daddy experience,” said a spokesman.
The tour, which also features Lil’ Kim, Faith Evans, French Montana, Mario Winans and other Bad Boy Records acts, was to begin on August 25, and is now slated to start on September 1.
The Los Angeles-area stop had been slated for October 4 at the Forum in Inglewood. New dates for the full 25-city tour have not been announced, but the opening show in Columbus, Ohio, has been reset for September 1.
As of Friday morning, the change in schedule was not reflected on the tour’s official website or on those of promoter Live Nation or Combs’ PuffDaddyAndTheFamily.com site.
In conjunction with the tour, Bad Boy last week released a five-CD retrospective Bad Boy 20th Anniversary Box Set containing 80 tracks also including label stars such as the Notorious B.I.G., Maze, Shyne, Nelly, Yung Joc, Danity Kane and Janelle Monae.
