Mariah Carey is back at it! On Monday, August 17, the Grammy Award-winning singer announced The Elusive Chanteuse Show world tour.

In a press release on her official website, the chart-topping vocal powerhouse shared details about the upcoming tour, which is scheduled to kick off on October 4 in Japan, with stops in China, Malaysia, Singapore and Asia.
