Detroit, July 06: Latin pop star Marc Anthony says he can handle all the singing that's required for his summer concert tour. Just don't ask him to dance -- too much.
"I suck as a dancer," Anthony said in a recent interview ahead of the tour promoting his second English-language album, "Mended," which debuted at No. 3 on the Billboard charts in May. He hits the road Saturday in Mansfield, Mass.
"I'm probably the worst dancer you ever met. I just jump around a lot, stomp my feet. I don't dance and sing at the same time; I'd have a breakdown."

But Anthony promised to have plenty of people on stage with him who can dance, as well as a flashy production to keep his audiences entertained.
"I learned a lot from the first tour," Anthony said of his last outing in support of the 1999 release "Marc Anthony," a triple-platinum success thanks to the Grammy-nominated hit single "I Need to Know." He also released another Spanish-language album, "Libre," prior to "Mended."
"What you can expect this time is a lot more of me -- a more confident me, a more complete me," he said. "I had so many questions to answer the first time around, people wondering whether I could go out and be any good or not. But this time I'm really anxious to work harder to get my point across and show people how passionate I am."
Dubbed "the reigning king of salsa" by the New York Times, Anthony originally planned to issue "Mended" along with "Libre" last fall, both on Sept. 28. In fact the album's first single, "Tragedy" -- co-written with Grammy-winning Matchbox Twenty frontman Rob Thomas -- already had been released and was being played on the radio.
But after the Sept. 11 attacks, Anthony thought it prudent to delay the English album until the spring.
