Fresh off a European tour and just before he heads to Japan and Australia, Rufus Wainwright has scheduled nine US solo shows, with half-sister Lucy Wainwright Roche as the opener on most dates. His New York City appearance will be part of the Teddy Thompson And Friends Christmas Show, a benefit for SaveDarfur.org, while his Los Angeles New Year's Eve bash will be a Parisian-style celebration. Hosted alongside Belinda Carlisle, he'll perform songs in both English and French, so we've saved you the translation trouble of counting down to the New Year: cinq, quatre, trois, deux, un!
