Just when you thought he had finally thawed out, the Iceman cometh again. Vanilla Ice has just announced tour dates.|
The Miami-based rapper who made it big in 1990 with the hit "Ice Ice Baby" will kick off the tour at the Juke Joint in Springfield, Mo, on Feb. 19. Ice will mainly hit venues in the Midwest and South, but will also venture across the border to play three gigs in Canada.
Ice, whose real name is Robert Van Winkle, has been fairly quiet since his major movie debut, Cool As Ice. However, when his album, To The Extreme, came out in 1990, it spawned the David Bowie/Queen sampled "Ice Ice Baby." The album stayed at No. 1 for 16 weeks and went on to sell more than seven million copies. Ice's star began to fade after that and his 1994 album, Mind Blown, did not measure up to his debut.
