A soundcheck stop by the Madea Farewell Play Tour, in Memphis, turned into a church!
It doesn't matter to the 50-year-old movie producer as he's greeting the closing days, of one of his most successful characters, with a joyful disposition.
Tyler Perry recently posted a video of him singing the popular church hymn, "How Excellent" with actors on set. The crew is currently on the third leg of Madea's Farewell Play Tour, and they only stopped for a soundcheck in Memphis. The video was captioned,
"... soundcheck last night in Memphis turned into church!!"
Perry then went on to thank Memphis for hosting them and hinted at the tours end in the coming weekend. This weekend's Madea show may be the last time that the hilarious and troublesome character will be gracing the scenes.
Nonetheless, Tyler Perry revealed that, even though the title of the last movie indicates that the funeral was meant for Madea, it wasn't, and he did that for a reason.
He said, "Noo, you can't kill her… I left the door because I don't want people to have a finality that she's gone." With Madea gone, for now, Perry is enthusiastic above the next phase of his career.
