Organisers say Ali helped plan his own funeral as a "last statement" to the world.

Will Smith, one of the first mainstream rappers who has since become an Oscar-nominated actor, is returning to music with a tour.

Smith has announced that his former duo, DJ Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince, will reunite for a first-of-a-kind tour.

"We never actually had a chance to go out and do a full tour," Smith told talk show host Ellen DeGeneres.

The duo put out its first album, Rock the House, in 1987 and within three years Smith was the star of the popular sitcom The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, leading to a lucrative career in Hollywood.

"I would like to apologize to my husband. This was not planned. I'm just so hormonal. Everything is great, I haven't vomited yet. That's a win y'all," the "Heartbeat Song" singer quipped in revealing that baby No. 2 with hubby Brandon Blackstock is on the way!

So her fans were treated to an unexpected treat along with all the goodness they expected from a Kelly concert.

But she's hardly the only one who took the opportunity to share some of the best news life has to offer with thousands of her nearest and dearest all at once.
