'Diddy' Delays Tour To Recover From Shoulder Surgery

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Sean "Diddy" Combs will be kicking off his tour later than expected after undergoing surgery for a shoulder injury.

The rapper and business mogul announced Friday that his Bad Boy Family Reunion Tour will now begin Sept. 1 in Chicago to give him more time to recover from surgery. The tour featuring Combs, Lil' Kim, Faith Evans, French Montana and other Bad Boy Records artists had been scheduled to kick off Aug. 25 in Columbus, Ohio.

A spokeswoman for the "Mo' Money Mo' Problems" rapper says the delay will give Combs "the much needed time he needs in order to recover and give fans the incredible stage experience they have come to expect from a Puff Daddy production."
