Ricky Martin plans arena tour for new album

 The Puerto Rican superstar Ricky Martin on Monday announced a tour of arenas around North America to accompany his first studio album in four years, AFP reports.

Martin on Tuesday releases "A Quien Quiera Escuchar" ("To Whoever Wants to Listen"), which features his single "Adios" ("Goodbye") that is inspired by 1930s burlesque.

The 43-year-old will tour for more than a month starting on September 15 in Las Vegas and closing in Orlando, Florida, with venues to include New York's Madison Square Garden, promoters said in a statement.

Despite his recent break from recording, Martin late last year toured Mexico and in April has shows scheduled around New Zealand and Australia, where he has been a judge on a television talent show.

Martin has sold millions of albums and proven to be of the most popular Latin crossover acts, winning a broad audience with songs such as "Livin' la Vida Loca," "Maria" and "La Copa de la Vida."
