Dido fared better this week at the Brit Awards -- she won Best British Single for "White Flag" and Best British Female Solo Artist -- than she did at last week's Grammy Awards, but that won't stop her from visiting North American for a summer tour.
The singer-songwriter has lined up fifteen dates starting May 17th in Vancouver and running through June 18th in Boston. A European tour will begin in July.
Though Dido came up empty handed at the Grammys, she's still enjoyed as much success with her second album, Life for Rent, in the States as she has in her native Britain. Since debuting Number Three in October, the record has sold more than 1 million copies. After twenty weeks of release, it remains in the Top Fifty.
