NEW YORK (AP) — Jennifer Lopez has decided to cancel her highly anticipated 2024 North American tour, according to Live Nation representatives. The decision comes as a surprise to fans who were eagerly awaiting the tour, which was set to be her first in five years. Lopez’s representatives cited the reason for the cancellation as her desire to take a break and spend more time with her children, family, and close friends.
The tour was intended to promote her latest solo album, “This Is Me… Now,” which marks her return to music after a decade. Additionally, Lopez had also released a companion film to accompany the album. The tour was initially scheduled to begin on June 26 in Orlando, Florida, and conclude on August 31 in Houston, Texas. Attendees who had purchased tickets through Ticketmaster will receive automatic refunds for their purchases.
In a heartfelt statement to her fans on her OntheJLo website and newsletter, Lopez expressed her deep regrets about disappointing her fans. She assured them that she wouldn’t have made this decision if she didn’t feel it was absolutely necessary. Lopez promised her fans that she would make it up to them and expressed her love for them, ending with a hopeful message of being together again in the future.
“This Is Me… Now” was released earlier this year, marking a significant moment in Lopez’s career. Reflecting on the album, Lopez described it as a “miracle” and a “second chance,” emphasizing her desire to capture the current moment in the same way her previous album, “This Is Me… Then,” captured a moment in time. Despite the tour cancellation, Lopez remains dedicated to her music and eager to connect with her fans in the future.
