Miley Cyrus to tour Latin America

LOS ANGELES, April 16 (UPI) -- Miley Cyrus announced the dates for her upcoming tour of Latin America, which kicks off April 29 in Quito, Ecuador.

"The Gypsy Heart tour is a dream come true," the 18-year-old pop princess said in a written statement this week. "Not only because of all the beautiful cities I will get to visit, but all of the beautiful people I will get to meet."

Cyrus also will meet people in Peru, Chile, Argentina, Mexico and other Latin American nations before hopping a trans-Pacific flight to Manila, the Philippines, for a June 17 appearance followed by a five-city swing through Australia.

"Gypsy Heart is not just a tour for me, but a mission to spread love," she said.

The only worry Cyrus copped to was her serious inability to speak Spanish, People magazine said.

"I actually failed Spanish (in school), so I will have someone with me making sure I can get through," she said.
