Keith Sweat has enjoyed an illustrious career since hitting the scene in 1987 with his single “I Want Her” and subsequent debut album Make It Last Forever. But after 37 years in the game, the 62-year-old is looking to slow things down a bit. Don’t get it “Twisted,” though, he’s not retiring from music. However, he is ready to park his tour bus permanently with the announcement of his Make It Last Forever Farewell Tour. For his final tour ever, Keith Sweat is going out in a major way and bringing some major talent with him.
Accompanying Keith on this journey will be ’90s R&B divas SWV, fellow R&B crooner Tyrese and early aughts R&B group Pretty Ricky. R&B will clearly be front and center on this tour, which begins in less than a month.
Presented by Bobby Dee Presents, the 10-date Make It Last Forever Farewell Tour will commence on Thursday, February 1st in Minneapolis, MN. It will then move on to Chicago, Milwaukee, Atlanta, Charlottesville, Fort Lauderdale, Philadelphia, Winston-Salem, Pensacola and Oklahoma City, where it will wrap on Saturday, March 2nd.
Pretty Ricky will open for Keith Sweat on all of the dates while Tyrese and SWV will divide their opening slots. Any concertgoers who want to see SWV perform will be able to do so in Milwaukee, Fort Lauderdale and Oklahoma City. Meanwhile, Tyrese will take the stage at the other seven shows.
The Make It Last Forever Farewell Tour may be the end of the road for Keith Sweat, but we doubt that he’ll just be sitting on the dock of the bay after this. With only 10 cities on the tour, we have our fingers crossed that he adds another leg with more dates. Plus we expect him to still perform at festivals, on music cruises and the occasional concert here and there. Who knows, he may even have a Las Vegas residency in his future.
While we wait to see Keith Sweat’s next music move, do not wait to get tickets to his Make It Last Forever Farewell Tour. January may feel like the longest month of the year, but February will be here before you know it.
