New York, NY (Top40 Charts/ Fuse TV) - Fuse, Madison
Square Garden's national music television network, will air Grammy-nominated recording artist Drake's
September 29th performance from the iconic
Radio City
Music Hall exclusively on Fuse on November 24th, Thanksgiving Eve at 9 pm ET. Airing in HD, 'Fuse Presents:
Drake Live From
Radio City
Music Hall,' presented by Sprite, will feature songs from Drake's hit album Thank Me Later, in addition to other fan favorites, along with special guests including Trey Songz, Birdman,
Fabolous and more. Fuse and Sprite have collaborated to bring Drake's first ever televised concert to fans across the U.S. with limited commercial interruptions.
'If I could perform every night and make it to every city, I would,' said Drake. 'Partnering with Fuse to broadcast my Radio City show allows me to perform for the fans who weren't able to make it out to my Light Dreams & Nightmares Tour. Performing at a venue like Radio City is an honor and I'm excited that Fuse has given me a chance to preserve it.'
Aubrey Graham, better known as Drake, is a Toronto-born actor and Grammy-nominated recording artist who is currently touring North America on his sold out Light Dreams & Nightmares Tour. Drake has worked with the most innovative artists in the hip-hop world including Lil Wayne, Kanye West, JAY-Z and Eminem, as well as musicians such as Alicia Keys and Mary J Blige, and many more. As an actor, Drake has gained worldwide attention for playing Jimmy Brooks on "Degrassi: The Next Generation," an award winning drama series that has become a cult hit, airing on Canada's CTV and TeenNick.
'We are thrilled that global artist Drake will become the latest performer to be part of the 'Fuse Presents' concert series, in his first ever televised show,' said David Clark, executive vice president, general manager of Fuse. 'With help from our presenting sponsor, The Coca-Cola Company, fans have access to the hottest concerts and exclusive programming from Madison Square Garden's iconic venues, such as this not-to-be-missed performance at Radio City Music Hall.'
