Thanks Grant! They posted that on Hayley Online, too, but since there was no link, I wasn't sure whether to post it or not.
I think the Singapore show is in November, too.
Oh, I just found a previous tweet that is a little clearer (and lists Hayley first!): http://m.tmi.me/uytPr

Hi everyone,
I have asked Bandana about these Far East concerts that are being discussed and they cannot comment on the reports.
So we must take it all with a pinch of salt at least for the moment as clearly, IF there is to be any involvement by Hayley, it has not been finalised.

Hi Richard and everyone,
Bandana have now confirmed this event/tour, which was strictly embargoed until today, so a bit of embargo breaking was going on in the Far East. It looks like Hayley will be on the entire tour, so excellent!

I bet Hayley's recent work with Andrea Bocelli put Hayley back on David Foster's radar. David Foster is still his producer, so he probably had a little to do with getting Hayley to sing with Bocelli last year in Asia.

Maybe!
But then.... Josh is no longer produced by David Foster.
But that doesn't mean David Foster couldn't work things out. I'm sure he and Josh are still on good terms. I think Josh just decided it was time for a change or something.
