Despite reports that Beyoncé is "still trying to figure out" her new record, the R&B queen has a bit of news that may lift the spirits of some weary fans who are less than excited that they'll have to wait for a new album. Bey has extended her current tour to now include dates through the holidays in December.
It's worth noting that, according to the newly revised schedule, Mrs. Carter will break from the road during the months of October and November. Previous reports have suggested that the singer has been eyeing a possible November release. If there are in fact loose ends that need to be tied up, she might be able to use the break to prepare. Or perhaps she can follow up her Dec. 20 date in Boston with a Christmas Eve release—you know, as a Christmas gift to all the fans who endured this waiting game all year long. (Kidding.)
