Rap mogul Jay-Z has said he is coming out of retirement to go on a world tour later this year.
The Def Jam Records president confirmed the news after a gig in his hometown, New York, to celebrate the tenth anniversary of his hit debut album, Reasonable Doubt" which is often referred to as one of the best hip hop records of all time.
He now plans to tour outside the US - including London, Seoul, Beirut, Dubai, Johannesburg and Sydney - in September and October. Jay-Z said: "It's a lot of places overseas I haven't been. I haven't been to Australia. I haven't been to Africa, Egypt."
He added: "I figured I get to take a vacation and see all of the places I haven't seen and get to play music for people who haven't yet experienced what I do but they've heard my music but that haven't seen me rock.
"In London, I've been there a couple of times but I haven't been there for two years. Different places like Australia. I haven't been there so I am excited about that."
Asked if he and gal pal Beyoncé Knowles could be planning for the patter of tiny feet, Jay-Z said: "Of course. Kids love me. I have a beautiful soul. When kids see me, they take to me really fast."
The star continued: "I have always thought about that but I always wanted to do it the right way. That's why I don't have a family yet.
"I don't want to be in Beirut missing all of your son's first things, or your daughters, excuse me, first day of school, first haircuts while you are performing at the pyramids in Egypt."
