The tour, entitled Timeless, will launch July 23 in Asheville, NC, at Biltmore Estates before playing 16 other cities. In a statement Aiken said, "I couldn’t ask for a better tour mate. To be able to share the stage with him again is so exciting. He is such a talented artist. He inspires me daily and I think that respect and admiration will truly be reflected in our show."
Studdard added, "It is truly a blessing and an honor to be on the stage with my friend. The relationship that we have built over these past eight years will definitely translate into a great show for our fans. And I'm really looking forward to singing the timeless classics every night."
