Il Divo

Want to get next year’s Mother’s Day gift out of the way early? Il Divo are here to help.

The popera quartet have just announced they’ll be heading out on tour in 2012 — and they’ll be stopping in a dozen Canadian cities next spring and summer.

Il Divo’s North American tour kicks off May 18 in Windsor and heads east to New Brunswick and Nova Scotia before moving down to the U.S.

The tour returns to Canada for a series of shows in the West in July.

Tickets go on sale beginning Nov. 18 at ildivo.com and aeglive.com, according to a press release. Prices weren’t immediately available, but really, isn’t Mom worth whatever it costs?

The male vocal quartet — Carlos Marin, Sebastien Izambard, David Miller and Urs Buhler — are about to release their sixth album Wicked Game.
