Unless he plans on pulling a Jay-Z—i.e. playing two cities/time zones in one night—RZA will miss the jump-off of Wu-Tang Clan's surprisingly extensive U.S. tour (see below for even more new dates) this Saturday. That's because the de facto leader scheduled a short tour of five stops in December, one of which (Los Angeles' El Rey Theatre) conflicts with the Wu-Tang Clan's concert in Chicago. As any fan knows, though, anything can, and will, happen with the Wu.

In more uplifting news, the group's new disc, 8 Diagrams, is out tomorrow.
