Sparks, McCartney plan joint US tour

American Idol star Jordin Sparks is to tour with pop singer Jesse McCartney later this summer.

The 'Jesse & Jordin Live' tour will take in 16 dates across the US, beginning in Sacramento, California on August 5.

"I am really excited to be going out and sharing the stage with someone as talented as Jesse McCartney," Sparks said. "He brings a soulful voice, heart of gold and his good looks to the stage every night, and I can't wait to share it with him."

McCartney was equally positive about his touring companion, saying: "She's one of those pure talents you don't see a lot of in this business. I can't wait to get out there with her."

Sparks is currently at number four on the UK singles chart with 'No Air', a duet with R&B singer Chris Brown.
