R. Kelly, who faces growing backlash over the shocking allegations made against him in Lifetime's "Surviving R. Kelly" docu-series, announced on Twitter Tuesday that he would launch an overseas tour before deleting the tweet.

"NEW TOUR ALERT," Kelly, 52, tweeted Tuesday, saying he would have upcoming stops in Australia, New Zealand and Sri Lanka. A tour poster accompanying the now-deleted post, did not list dates or venues, saying only that the "King of R&B" would be "coming soon."

The reaction to Kelly's announcement was mixed, with supporters who exclaimed, "The storm is over" and "your concerts must go on," as well as critics who said, "Lock him up" and "nobody wants you here."

Were an overseas tour to happen, it would not be the first time Kelly has performed since the series backlash. He belted out an a cappella rendition of his 1994 hit "Bump n' Grind" during his birthday celebration at a Chicago nightclub on Jan. 8 and is scheduled to perform two shows in Germany in April.

Kelly had been notably quiet on the social media platform since the Lifetime series aired in early January. Before the tour-announcement tweet, his most recent post had been on Jan. 1.

A few days later, "Surviving R. Kelly" debuted, highlighting decades of sexual misconduct allegations against the embattled artist, which the singer has denied.

Since then, many fans and celebrities have denounced Kelly. And many artists, including Lady Gaga, Celine Dion and Jennifer Hudson, have pulled songs from streaming platforms that feature or were created by the R&B hitmaker. The "Mute R. Kelly" social media campaign also has gained steam.
