UPDATE: Erykah Badu/Common concert rescheduled

The March 13 Erykah Badu and Common concert at State Farm Arena has been postponed “out of an abundance of caution for the public.”

A rescheduled date is still being determined. Tickets purchased for the original concert will be honored, or refunds are available at point of purchase.

The onetime romantic partners and purveyors of the 2002 hit, "Love of My Life (Hip-Hop)" were sharing a bill, and, presumably at some point, a stage for these live shows. Common has stayed busy with his current album, "Let Love," and a memoir, "Let Love Have the Last Word," while Badu recently launched an online store, baduworldmarket.com.
