Beyonce will arrive in Sunderland on Tuesday with her Renaissance tour and, as scores of fans await her arrival, they are predicting the music icon is about to make a very public geture to honour the city.
Beyonce, the megastar who shot to fame as one of Destiny's Child, before giving the world anthems like Crazy in Love, Single Ladies and Run The World, has been in the UK for the last week with her Renaissance shows, having kicked them off in Europe earlier this month.
Given that the album of the same name caused a real frenzy when it was released last year, hot on the heels of lead single Break My Soul, anticipation is at fever pitch for the singer's arrival in Wearside, after she delighted fans in Cardiff and Edinburgh for her first two UK dates.
