Leona won’t be going on tour anytime soon, unfortunately. In fact, Leona will release a second album before going on tour. The second album is expected to be released next year.

“We have absolutely no plans for her to tour until 2010,” Lewis’ manager Richard Griffiths, head of London-based Modest Management, tells Billboard.com. “We’re going to make ['Spirit'] the biggest record in the world, then we’ll make another record in 2009, and tour on the back of that.”

“Spirit” arrives April 8 in the United States through J/SyCo Music. Lewis will support the release with a six-week promo trip stateside. “America is looking extremely positive. J Records is doing an incredible job there,” says Griffiths. “The initial airplay position is very positive. We’ve got no problems at the moment.”

As for not winning any awards at The Brits this year: “We can get over it this year. She’s going to have a long, successful career,” adds Griffiths. “We’ll be back and picking up awards in years to come. She’s had so many great things happen in her life already.”

   Leona is one hell of a talent! I went to the same stage school as her and live round the corner from where she grew up! I cannot wait until the 2nd album is released in November 2009. I just know its going to be magnificent! Then the tour! Woooo! Xx
