The road to rebuilding his sex symbol persona has been an interesting journey for R. Kelly, and during his Love Letter tour stop in Los Angeles Saturday (June 11) night, the singer thanked his fans for their continued support.

Almost three years to the day since he beat the massive child molestation charges brought against him by an alleged taped rendezvous with a teenage girl, the Chicago native appeared rejuvenated and unmoved by the salacious headlines that have plagued him in recent years. Bringing Marsha Ambrosious and Keyshia Cole along as opening acts, Kellz set out to remind his fans why he wears the crown as "the king of R&B," and rightfully so.

Ambrosious kicked things off with tracks from her 'Late Nights and Early Mornings' debut and the song 'Say Yes,' from her Floetry days, before passing the baton to Cole, who hit the stage performing singles from all four of her albums. Yet it wasn't until Kelly hit the stage that the entire crowd rose to their feet -- and stayed there for most of his nearly two hour set.
