HBO to air parts of Beyonce shows

NEW YORK -- Beyonce is headed back to HBO.

The network announced Thursday it will air four 10-minute segments of her concerts ahead of "True Blood." Dubbed "Beyonce: X10," the segments will air Sundays at 7:55 p.m. starting June 29.

The final season of "True Blood" premieres Sunday.

The footage is from Beyonce's Mrs. Carter World Tour, which wrapped in March. She launches a co-headlining tour with Jay Z next week.

The Beyonce documentary "Life Is but a Dream" debuted on HBO last year. The network said it was the most viewed music special on the channel since 2003.

The megastar is riding high off the release of her self-titled fifth album, which has sold 2 million units. It features the hit, "Drunk in Love."
