Fiona Apple Going On Tour

 The 34-year-old Fiona Apple is all ‘growed up’ and looking just as beautiful as ever!

It’s been a while since we’ve heard from Fiona Apple, and seven whole years since she’s released a full-length album, but the petite woman with the enormous jazzy, sexy voice is heading back on tour beginning in March.

The singer recently announced an upcoming appearance at this year’s SXSW festival on March 15th, and to follow the good news, she’s taken to her Facebook page to say she’ll be taking off on a short East Coast tour following the music fest.

I forgot how much I loved Fiona Apple, and how much of a feisty one she was/is. She was kind of like a jazzy version of a Riot grrrl back in the 90s. I remember watching her bizarre 1997 MTV Awards acceptance speech (click HERE to see it, but it’s NSFW), and thinking, “I like this chick and what’s she’s about!”

Fingers crossed that the brief tour will just be a taste of what’s to come later in 2012… hopefully her much anticipated, long-awaited album will finally surface and if she can add some more tour dates that will cover much more land, that should suffice for now. Your fans want you back Fiona!

Tickets go on sale for Flavorpill subscribers on Thursday (February 23) from 10 a.m. through 10 p.m. EST; the sale goes to the public at noon on Friday.
