Ryan Leslie European Tour 2010 Video Recap
Ryan Leslie European Tour 2010 Recap from Ryan Leslie on Vimeo.
Ryan- “Those of you who follow my twitter updates have already had a first hand view of my recent tour in Europe as it unfolded on the road. Here’s a taste of the excitement, exhilaration and energy from the unique perspective of my video guns, Evan Rogers and Aram Bedrossian. This was an amazing time for me, and the first of many tours with an incredible band: Jermaine Parrish (Drums), Travis Sayles (Keys), Chris Morgan (Guitar), and LeShawn Thomas (Bass). Special thanks to Ne-Yo for sharing his arenas and audiences with me for the first week. To everyone who bought tickets, waited in line, screamed, sang, cried, and even fainted – I appreciate you more than I could ever say.”
