Gnarls Barkley Clarify That Upcoming Reunion Tour Will Only Feature Danger Mouse ‘In Spirit’
According to Cee Lo, the producer born Brian Burton will not appear on the upcoming dates.
After announcing their first tour in 18 years last week, Gnarls Barkley has clarified which members will be joining them on the road. Initially billed as a nine-city North American celebration of singer CeeLo Green and producer Danger Mouse (formerly known as Brian Burton), the pair have since confirmed that the "To Whom It Still Concerns" tour will only feature Green.
In a message posted on their Instagram account on Wednesday (Sept. 23), the group emphasized transparency, stating, "total transparency @gnarlsbarkleyofficial #fans the ‘to whom it still concerns’ tour is here! It’s been almost 20 years, probably won’t happen again! There has been inquiry but ‘DANGER MOUSE IS NOT PERFORMING’ !!!!"
Green will perform songs from their iconic albums, while Danger Mouse will be there "in spirit." The nine-city tour, which is set to begin on Nov. 5 at the Masonic in San Francisco, will then travel to Los Angeles, Atlanta, Detroit, Boston, Silver Spring, Md., Toronto, and New York before concluding on Nov. 28 at the House of Blues in Chicago.
In addition to their North American tour, Green has also scheduled four Gnarls Barkley shows in the U.K. for December. The Grammy-winning duo initially reunited in February to release their third and final album, "Atlanta," which dropped in March. Following their album release, the duo has embarked on a sporadic tour, including appearances at awards shows and festivals in 2006 to support their debut, as well as international performances in 2007 and a tour opening for the Red Hot Chili Peppers in the U.S. They also played festival dates and sporadic shows in 2008 while supporting their 2008 album, "The Odd Couple," with both members on stage, often in elaborate costumes.
