LOS ANGELES – Charlie Sheen is taking his show on the road.
A spokesman for the outspoken actor said tickets go on sale Saturday for shows in Detroit and Chicago next month called “Charlie Sheen Live: My Violent Torpedo of Truth.”
Publicist Larry Solters said Sheen is promoting the show himself and has already begun rehearsals. Solters said he does not know the nature of the show or whether additional performances will be scheduled.
Sheen announced the show Thursday and Friday to his more than 2 million Twitter followers, calling it “the REAL story.”
Meanwhile, a book of poems he self-published 20 years ago is a hot item on eBay.
Bidding for an initialed copy of “A Peace of My Mind,” long out of print, had reached nearly $600 on the online auction website as of Friday afternoon.
The poems are as dark as any of his recent rants, including “A Thoughtless Soul,” which includes the passage: “A night of drink/A night of hate/A night as dark/As last night’s date.”
Sheen has been reading from the book on his webcast, “Sheen’s Korner.”
The 45-year-old actor was fired from the hit CBS show “Two and a Half Men” on Monday. He sued the show’s producers Thursday for $100 million for breach of contract. Hours later, he reached a custody agreement with his estranged wife over their twin sons.
Sheen has been making headlines with his colourful, rambling interviews, in which he has claimed to be a “Vatican assassin warlock” with “tiger blood” and “Adonis DNA.”
