Singer/actress BARBRA STREISAND is planning a new extravagant 20-show tour - despite bidding farewell to fans with her "final" live concert in September 2000.
The WOMAN IN LOVE star reportedly plans to charge $1,500 (£880) for the best tickets, and hopes to pocket a staggering $2 million (£1.2 million) from each show.
Operatic boy band IL DIVO are being sought to become her opening act.
A source tells PageSix.com, "They're trying to get Il Divo now.
"The big worry is, 'Can Barbra lose the extra 50 pounds she's put on?' She feels that confirming the dates is the only thing that will make her lose the weight.
"The promoter is MICHAEL COHL, who does the ROLLING STONES." (JB/WNWCPS/IG)
