R Kelly has said he will dedicate his new album, released in the US this week, to the memory of victims of that Chicago
E2 club tragedy that took place earlier this week when chaos erupted in the packed venue after security guards fired pepper spray in an attempt to break up a fight. He also plans to donate £2000 to each of the families of the 21 people who died in the stampede.
"I know the club and I know the people," Kelly told reporters yesterday. "While nothing can ever replace the loved ones who were lost, hopefully we can help ease the burden on their families. The funds will be distributed to the victims' families through Salem Baptist Church in Chicago."
