Good news for fans who couldn’t snag tickets to Anita Baker’s two Atlanta performances during Mother’s Day weekend – a third show has been added.

The R&B/soul powerhouse will now begin her run at the Fox Theatre at 7:30 p.m. May 10. She is also playing two sold-out shows on May 11 and May 13.

Tickets for the new date are $57.50-$200 and will go on sale at 10 a.m. April 10 via www.foxtheatre.org, at the venue box office and by calling 1-855-285-8499.

Earlier this year , the eight-time Grammy winner announced she would embark on a farewell tour to celebrate a career filled with hits such as "Giving You the Best That I Got," "Caught Up in the Rapture" and "Just Because."
