‘Heartsick’ singer cancels US tour to spend time with family

Jennifer Lopez has said she is “deeply saddened” by the cancellation of the US leg of her ‘This Is Me… Live’ tour.

Ticketing company Live Nation announced on Friday that her 2024 summer tour had been cancelled, saying the singer was “taking time off to spend time with her children, family and close friends”.

Addressing his fans On JLo “I am absolutely devastated and heartbroken to have let you down,” the singer wrote in the newsletter.

Live Nation assured fans in a statement that they would be automatically refunded.

The tour follows Lopez’s ninth studio album This Is Me… Now, which was released 20 years after her hit album This Is Me… Then. It is the singer’s first album in five years.

Beginning in Orlando on June 26, the two-month North American tour was to conclude in Houston in late August.

Writing to fans, Lopez said: “I wouldn’t do it if I didn’t feel it was absolutely necessary.

“I promise I’ll make it up to you and we’ll all be together again. I love you all so much. Until next time.”

The tour’s cancellation has been attributed to speculation about the state of the marriage between Lopez and actor Ben Affleck. Poor ticket sales for the concert series have also been rumored.

At a press conference for her new sci-fi film Atlas last week, Lopez dismissed questions about reports of trouble in her marriage.

During the Q&A session, the star was asked if her potential divorce from Affleck was “real?”, to which she replied, “You know better than that.”

The couple was last seen together at Affleck’s daughter Violet’s graduation ceremony earlier this week. They have been married since July 2022.
