Fans In Frenzy Mood As Beyonce Set To Kick Off Concert Tour

Ecstatic Beyonce fans sang and danced in feverish excitement in Stockholm Wednesday in the final countdown to the superstar kicking off her first solo tour in seven years.

Among the hundreds of people thronging outside the stadium to see the global music icon — one of the world’s best-selling artists — were some who had travelled halfway around the world to catch the show.

Beyonce, who has a record 32 Grammy awards; is in the top 10 biggest grossing female artists. She is also a fashion icon, with designers queuing up for her attention.

Many of the fans in Stockholm sported cowboy hats and rhinestones that sparkled in the spring sun, mimicking the look of the iconic performer’s outfit in the ads announcing the 57-stop European and North American tour.

Julie Vargas, who flew in from Houston, Texas — Beyonce’s home town — confessed to having a “shrine” dedicated to the star at home.

“I don’t want any spoilers, I wanted to be the first to see it and take the news back to H-town baby!,” the 38-year-old surgical technologist told AFP.

“I love Beyonce, it’s her style, it’s her songs, it’s the production, the choreography, it’s everything,” she added.
