Mexico’s Trevi announces tour

Controversial Mexican pop singer Gloria Trevi, recently released from jail after almost five years of fighting charges arising from a sex scandal, Monday announced a 30-city concert tour that kicks off March 3 in her hometown of Monterrey, Mexico.

Dubbed Trevolution, the tour includes two nights at the Universal Amphitheatre, April 22 and 23. Trevi chose the venue, where she appeared 12 years ago at the height of her popularity, to make the tour announcement before a clamoring Spanish-language press corps, still obsessed with the scandal.

Trevi and her ex-manager, Sergio Andrade, were jailed in 2000 on allegations that they had seduced aspiring, underage female performers into a sex cult. In September, a Mexican judge released Trevi for lack of evidence, but Andrade still faces charges of rape and abuse of minors.
