Jennifer Lopez cancels summer tour, says she’s heartbroken by ‘absolutely necessary’ decision

Jennifer Lopez canceled her “This Is Me… Live” summer tour on Friday, saying she wanted to get away to spend time with family and friends.

Live Nation also announced the news in a statement, saying the singer is “taking time to be with her children, family and close friends.”

In a message to fans on Friday, Lopez said: “I am completely heartbroken and devastated that I let you down.”

She added: “Please know that I wouldn’t do this if I didn’t think 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. Till next time…”

The singer’s decision follows reports that ticket sales for the concert were struggling. In April, the musician changed the name of the concert from “This Is Me…Now” – the title of her latest album and a follow-up to her third studio album “This Is Me…Then” – to “This Is Me…Live.” » She had already canceled seven dates of the tour/

The news that Lopez is canceling her tour – her first North American tour in five years – also comes amid rumors that Lopez and her rekindled romance with husband Ben Affleck are on ice. Twenty years into their relationship, they eloped to Las Vegas in 2020. However, People reported that the two have recently been living separately.

However, the singer-actress still has her hands in her bag, as she is still promoting her space action film “Atlas.” Additionally, “This Is Me…Now,” her ninth studio album, landed at No. 38 on the Billboard 200 chart.

“This Is Me… Now” — which debuted on February 16 — is a three-part project that documents Lopez’s reunion with Affleck. It includes the album, a musical film titled “This Is Me… Now: A Love Story” and a documentary “The Greatest Love Story Never Told”.
