Beyoncé Prepping For Tour: MeToo Checks, No Booze Or Drugs For Crew

While no tour dates to promote her latest album, Renaissance, have been announced, Beyoncé is reportedly preparing to take the show on the road.

According to The Sun, the Break My Soul singer is aiming to "make the tour a safe and friendly work environment". There will be background checks, including MeToo checks to ensure that there is no sexual misconduct happening amongst the crew. 

A source spoke to The Sun and confirmed that Beyoncé wants no drugs or alcohol on tour. "Bey knows the new performances will require intense choreography and precision, so everyone has to be clean and sober," the source said. "There won’t be any crazy partying on the road either.

Supporting her team during gruelling travel and shows, Beyoncé will provide mental health support while on tour. "She knows people are happiest when they know their well-being is fulfilled and wants to use what she has learned in the business to lead by example," the source added.

The black and white bodysuit worn by Beyoncé on the Renaissance album cover was revealed to be the work of the Brisbane designer Bethany Cordwell.

Beyoncé can be seen wearing Cordwell's black and white bodysuit and matching earrings in one of the disco-influenced cover images issued with Renaissance. 

From Lemonade premiering through HBO, Homecoming landing as a part of a $60 million deal with Netflix and Black Is King with Disney; there's no doubt that Renaissance will follow a similar path. Renaissance was released earlier this year.

Beyoncé has been very busy since releasing Lemonade in 2016; she released a collaborative album with Jay-Z in 2018 under their family moniker, The Carters, titled Everything Is Love, and headlined Coachella in 2019, which landed alongside a documentary and live album HOMECOMING.

Then followed 2020’s Black Is King, a visual album released in support of and alongside 2019's The Lion King: The Gift, which featured collaborators Childish Gambino, Kendrick Lamar, Pharrell and more.
