Anthony has plenty to say about returning to touring (with a stop in Chicago on Sept. 7 at the Allstate Arena), as well as his love for Chicago.

“There is not much not to like about Chicago,” Anthony said. “I spent alot of time in Chicago many years ago. I just like the vibe in Chicago. Playing there is almost like coming back home and hanging with family. That concert is going to be just like a big get together or a big BBQ or something.”
