Rihanna New Album 2014: R8 Tour in 2015?

Rihanna may have accidentally revealed that she and fellow performer Kanye West are both launching their own tours on 2015, Just Jared reported.

The unexpected revelation from the 26-year-old singer herself, came when she promoted the charity auction that she will be holding at her Diamond Ball for the Clara Lionel Foundation.

Rihanna tweeted about it on early Tuesday morning and among the list of items up for bid include VIP passes for the upcoming tours of West and herself.

For Rihanna, the VIP Package contains special tour passes, tour merchandise and also special products, according to Unreality TV.

Rihanna's VIP Package includes two tickets to either her U.S. or European 2015 tour at any city of the winner's choosing, car service to and from the chosen concert venue, a meet and greet session and autographed memorabilia from the songstress and tour merchandise in the winner's size.

The package also threw in Rihanna's MAC Viva Glam cosmetics collection and her ROGUE perfume collection with Rogue, Rogue Love and Rogue Man scents.

There is no clue as to when and where the tour will begin, but interested bidders can get in on the auction at a starting price of $15,000, according to Unreality TV.

A source has spoken up to tease about the singer's upcoming tour and album, calling the new songs "sick" and saying it was all different from the singer's past songs and albums, according to Hollywood Life. The upcoming album is rumored to be titled "R8."

The source claimed that the announcement of Rihanna's tour and the release of her video and single is "imminent." Rihanna reportedly did not want to emulate fellow singer Beyoncé, who previously dropped her album without notice -- surprising fans all over the world.

"She wants to be an innovator herself and go by her own terms," the source said.

West on the other hand, is also working on his upcoming seventh studio album and similar to Rihanna, he has kept mum on details about it, according to Billboard.

According to the VIP Package that is up for grabs, the one who wins the bidding will get two tickets to one of West's 2015 tour concerts in any city of his or her choosing, a meet and greet session and tour memorabilia signed by the singer himself, a limited pair of Yeezy's and other tour merchandise that will be available in the winner's size.

The bidding is ongoing and has been billed to start at $15,000. It will end on Dec. 11 at 5 p.m. ET, according to Billboard.

All the proceeds of the Diamond Ball auction will be given to the Clara Lionel Foundation, according to Billboard. It was founded in honor of Clara and Lionel Brathwaite, Rihanna's grandparents.
