Hudson to tour

Jennifer Hudson is to follow up her triumphant return to public life with a six-week tour.

The singer/actress wowed sports fans watching the Super Bowl on Sunday with her first performance since the murders of her mother, brother and nephew in October drove her into hiding.

The Oscar winner sang the US national anthem before the big game.

And now she's planning a tour this spring.

Her manager Damien Smith tolds EW.com that Hudson will headline a theatre-sized tour in late March or early April.

He said: "Everybody stay tuned. You'll be seeing a lot more of her."
