MARY J. BLIGE ADDS NEW DATES TO ‘THE FOR MY FANS TOUR’

Blige is full steam ahead on her 2025 tour bringing her iconic style to each stage and treating fans to an incredible blend of classics like “Be Without You,” “Family Affair” and “Real Love,” alongside tracks from her new album “Gratitude,” including “Here I Am” and “Don't F*ck Up.” The For My Fans Tour journey’s from Blige’s beginnings to where she is today and genuinely expresses that this could not have been possible without the love and support of her fans.

Iconic artist, actress, producer and entrepreneur Blige is a figure of inspiration, transformation and empowerment. With a track record of eight multi-platinum albums, nine GRAMMY® Awards (37 nominations), an Emmy® Award, two Academy Award nominations, two Golden Globe nominations and a SAG nomination, Blige has cemented herself as a global superstar. This past October, she was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame as part of their Class of 2024.

Influenced at an early age by the music of Aretha Franklin, Chaka Khan and Gladys Knight, Blige brought her own gritty, urban-rooted style—fusing hip-hop, soul and honest, frank lyrics—to the forefront on her 1992 debut album “What’s the 411?.” Blige continued redefining R&B and began forging a unique niche for herself on her second album, 1994’s “My Life.”

Each subsequent album read like a chapter from an autobiography. In February 2022, Blige released “Good Morning Gorgeous,” which earned her six 2023 GRAMMY® nominations including Album and Record of the Year. The album release led to a historic performance at the Pepsi Super Bowl LVI Halftime Show at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, CA alongside Dr. Dre, Eminem, Snoop Dogg and Kendrick Lamar. Her performance earned her a 2022 Emmy® Award for Outstanding Variety Special (Live).

On the acting side, Blige starred as Florence Jackson in the 2017 Netflix breakout film “Mudbound,” to which she received critical acclaim including two Academy Award® nominations for Best Supporting Actress and Best Original Song. She became the first person to be nominated in an acting and song category for the same film. Among many other credits, Blige recently wrapped her tenure on the hit STARZ series “Power Book II: Ghost.” The fourth and final season concluded on Starz and continued to break records for the network through its final season.

As a producer, Blige launched her production company, Blue Butterfly and signed a first-look TV deal with Lionsgate. Blige also signed a first-look non-scripted deal and a second-look scripted deal with BET. In 2021, she worked with OSCAR®-winning filmmaker Vanessa Roth and Amazon on her documentary “Mary J. Blige's My Life,” celebrating the 25th anniversary of her famed album “My Life, of which she was the focus and EP. Following her 2023 Lifetime films, “Real Love” and “Strength of a Woman,” Blige has signed on to executive produce multiple new projects for Lifetime and most recently produced, “Mary J. Blige’s Family Affair,” which premiered last month.
