After some years away from the spotlight, Macy Gray is back on tour by September, and the singer will visit the land Down Under first. This is the first time the singer will grace the country in over 12 years.

It can be recalled that Gray hit the limelight of the music scene way back in 1999 with a hit album entitled 'On How Life Is.' Her most recent album is now called as 'Covered' in which she features covers originally made by artists like Eurythmics, Metallica and even Radiohead.

She will also be seen as part of the upcoming movie of Zac Efron and Nicole Kidman, 'The Paperyboy' which was introduced recently during the Cannes Film Festival.

Macy Gray's exact Australian tour schedule is as follows:

September 16 - Concert Hall, Sydney Opera House, Sydney

September 19 - Jupiters Theatre, Jupiters Hotel, Gold Coast

September 20 - Concert Hall, QPAC, Brisbane

September 21 - Hamer Hall, Arts Centre, Melbourne

On Being A Mother Of Three Teenagers

After having spent 12 years in the music industry, Gray is proud to say that she is already a mother to three teenagers with her ex-hubby being Tracy Hinds. She personally said that one of the covers she made in her newest album, 'Teenagers' by My Chemical Romance is dedicated to her three teens, Happy, 14, Mel, 15 and Aanisah, 16.

Grays revealed that it is not easy being a mother and a professional singer all at the same time. But she said, in time, every mother gets adjusted to it - meaning to all the hard work there is.

She is grateful to maintain an open communication with her teens that makes it easier for her to discipline and train them on various issues in the society today.
