Beyonce has selected Luke James to be the opening performer on her Mrs. Carter Show World Tour in Europe. James will join Beyonce beginning April 24, 2013 in Paris and finishing up on May 29th in Stockholm.

“Luke James is a gifted singer and songwriter, and what he does on stage with his pure falsetto is incredible. I am excited to have him join the tour and to introduce this soulful singer to an audience in Europe that will be discovering a true star,” said Beyoncé in the official announcement.

“It is such an unimaginable honor to be sharing the light yet again with Beyoncé on her sold-out Mrs. Carter Show World Tour,” said Luke James. “This is a blessing that I do not take lightly. Thank you Beyoncé.”
