Jennifer Lopez announced on Friday that she’s canceled her summer tour.
The Bronx-born singer revealed the news to fans through her exclusive email newsletter On The JLo.
In what she called a “special message to JLovers,” Lopez wrote:
“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,” she penned. “I love you all so much. Until next time…”
The site also included a statement from Live Nation, the tour promoter.
The company announced the cancelation citing “Jennifer is taking time off to be with her children, family and close friends.”
“For those who purchased through Ticketmaster, tickets will automatically be refunded – there is nothing further fans need to do. For those who purchased via third-party resale sites such as SeatGeek, StubHub, VividSeats, etc. – please reach out to your point purchase for more details.”
The cancelation comes over a month after the “Atlas” star revealed the tour was rebranded as a Greatest Hits tour.
News of the tour itself was announced in February as she was celebrating her latest album “This is Me… Now,” which is the sequel to her 2002 album “This is Me… Then.” The album famously chronicled her relationship with then-fiance Ben Affleck.
Following the couple’s reunion and wedding, Lopez brought back the nostalgia for an album, a film “This Is Me… Now: A Love Story” and an accompanying documentary about their story called “The Greatest Love Story Never Told.”
After tickets went on sale, many noticed that about five concert dates between Aug. 22 to 30 were marked as canceled on Ticketmaster.
The site marked the shows in Nashville, Raleigh, Atlanta, Tampa and New Orleans as canceled. Variety reported that the shows in Cleveland and Houston were removed from the schedule completely. People reported that these changes were made due to logistical issues.
The tour was set to kick off on June 26 in Orlando, Florida.
She was set to stop at The Kia Forum in Inglewood on July 11 and then at Anaheim’s Honda Center on July 13.
