R&B mega-star Alicia Keys is set to kick off her 2008 Summer Tour — “As I Am”. Things will get rolling with “Today’s” outdoor concert series followed by a “Late Night With David Letterman” episode on April 29th.

Keys has been in the news lately for her activism as well as her musical prowess. She is just finishing a month long trip to Africa to support her organization, Keep a Child Alive — a foundation devoted to fighting AIDS in Africa.

That positive work, and press, has helped build quite a bit of buzz for the upcoming tour. Playing along with American Idol’s Jordin Sparks and Ne-Yo, Keys will be filling stadiums at about 30 stops across North America for this concert tour.

Things will wrap up in a homecoming show for Alicia Keys in Madison Square Garden on June 18th.
