Jennifer Lopez Cancels Summer Tour This Is Me … Live
Jennifer Lopez is no longer hitting the road this summer.
Live Nation announced Friday that her upcoming This Is Me … Live Tour is canceled, citing “Jennifer is taking time off to be with her children, family and close friends.”
Lopez addressed fans via her On the Jlo newsletter writing, “I am completely heartsick and devastated about letting you down. Please know that I wouldn’t do this if I didn’t feel that it was absolutely necessary. I promise I will make it up to you and we will all be together again. I love you all so much. Until next time…”
The This Is Me… Live Tour was originally set to launch June 26 in Orlando and run through Aug. 31 in Houston.
Tickets purchased through Ticketmaster will automatically be refunded. For those purchased via a third-party resale site, Live Nation directed fans to reach out to the point purchase for further details.
The tour was initially in support of her ninth studio album This Is Me… Now, but the singer quietly re-branded the tour, her first North American arena tour in five years, to celebrate her songbook instead, renaming it the This Is Me… Live: The Greatest Hits Tour.
Following the album’s release, Lopez released two accompanying films, This Is Me…Now: A Love Story and a documentary The Greatest Love Story Never Told, which celebrated her return to music and reunion with husband Ben Affleck.
The announcement comes amid reports that the tour faced poor ticket sales and speculation that there are marital issues between Lopez and Affleck.
