UPDATE: Cee-Lo Green has dropped out of Rihanna’s “LOUD” tour, which also features opener J. Cole. The “Fuck You” singer cited a busy work schedule that includes his commitment to judging “The Voice,” writing a new book and recording a new album.

“He always puts 100 percent into his work and with the requirements and time commitment to ‘The Voice,’ on top of heading back into the recording studio and an upcoming book, he feels that he wouldn’t give his fans the show that they deserve,” said a publicist.
