‘Heartsick’ Jennifer Lopez cancels US tour dates
Jennifer Lopez has expressed that she is “devastated” after having to cancel the US leg of her This Is Me… Live tour.
Live Nation, the ticketing company, announced on Friday that the 2024 summer tour has been called off, stating that the singer is “taking time off to be with her children, family, and close friends.”
In her On the JLo newsletter, Lopez addressed her fans, writing: “I am completely heartsick and devastated about letting you down.”
Live Nation assured fans that they will receive automatic refunds.
The tour was set to follow Lopez’s ninth studio album, This Is Me… Now, released 20 years after her hit album, This Is Me… Then, and marked her first album in five years.
Scheduled to start in Orlando on June 26, the two-month North American tour was supposed to end in Houston at the end of August.
Lopez explained to fans: “I wouldn’t do this if I didn’t feel that it was 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 tour cancellation comes as speculation continues about the state of Lopez’s marriage to actor Ben Affleck. There have also been rumors of poor ticket sales for the series of concerts.
At a press junket for her new sci-fi movie Atlas last week, Lopez dismissed a question concerning reports of problems with her marriage.
During a Q&A session, the star was asked if her possible divorce from Affleck “is real?” to which she responded “You know better than that.”
The couple were last seen together earlier this week at Affleck’s daughter Violet’s graduation ceremony. They have been married since July 2022.
