Cee Lo Green hits the stage dressed as Patti LaBelle to perform in a tribute to the singer at the 2011 BET Awards held at the Shrine Auditorium on Sunday (June 26) in Los Angeles.

The 37-year-old “F**k You” singer has dropped out of Rihanna‘s Loud tour, in which he has been performing as an opening act for the past few weeks.

“He always puts 100 percent into his work and with the requirements and time commitment to The Voice, on top of heading back into the recording studio and an upcoming book, he feels that he wouldn’t give his fans the show that they deserve,” a rep for Cee Lo said in a statement.
