Beyonce's First Concert Since Baby; Singer 'Nervous' During Rehearsals (VIDEO)
Beyonce Knowles is giving fans a glimpse into her preparations for her much hyped comeback tour which will take place at The Revel in Atlantic City, N.J., starting on Friday.
The 30-year-old has released a 5-and-a-half minute long video which shows her complete involvement in almost every aspect of her concert, and the singer admits that she is "nervous" about returning to the stage after.
"It is exciting. I'm feeling a little nervous. I'm enjoying being a mother so it's like going back to my old job and it's a little strange but it's important that you don't lose yourself … that you have your own passions and I'm back to work. I'm back to business," she said in the candid video.

"What I am trying to say with this show is 'Yes, I had a baby' and it just made me even more grounded and more like you," she added.
The "Countdown" singer took time off from performing in January when she gave birth to her first child Blue Ivy and is now finally ready to return to the stage just four months later.
"I think that the show has the potential of being probably one of the greatest shows we've done," choreographer Frank Gatson Jr. said.
In one scene, Beyonce is rehearsing her hit song "Halo" during a musical arrangement session just seven weeks before her tour starts and the singer admits that she has not sang in a year.
Beyonce is set to perform four shows over Memorial Day Weekend, and all tickets are reportedly sold out, according to the New York Daily News.
Tickets for the shows, which were originally listed for between $95 to $495, are being sold by scalpers for up to four times of the original price. To some fans, this is proof that Beyonce's career is still at its peak.
While Beyonce is currently focused on preparing for her comeback tour, recent reports claim that she and husband Shawn "Jay-Z" Carter are also preparing to have a second child.
"They see no reason to wait. It took them a while to conceive Blue Ivy, so they don't want to waste another second," a source told Star Magazine.
"Beyonce and Jay-Z adore being parents, and they're as hands-on as they possibly can be. Beyonce has found a passion other than music, and it's being a mom," the source added.
