The Hero hitmaker is set to hit the road for her Angels Cry tour next year (10), according to TheProphetBlog.net.
Cannon recently signed new band RydazNrtist to his label NCredible Entertainment and Carey is allegedly helping them get off to a good start by giving them the coveted spot as show openers for her 2010 concerts across the U.S.
