Jennifer Lopez cancels her summer ‘This Is Me…Now The Tour’

Jennifer Lopez has canceled her This Is Me…Now The Tour, which was set to kick off next month.

Rumors had been circulating in recent months that many shows were set to be canceled due to poor ticket sales; however, Lopez shared that the tour cancellation was done so to take time off to spend with her ‘children, family, and close friends,’ which was announced directly to fans via her ‘OntheJLo’ Newsletter. Lopez, 54, 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. I love you all so much. Until next time…”  The news also comes amid rumors that Lopez and her husband, Ben Affleck, have separated.

The 30+ city tour was set to begin on June 26th in Orlando with stops across North America in Miami, Los Angeles, Toronto, her hometown of New York City, and more before wrapping up in Houston on August 31st. The tour was intended to support the release of Lopez’s first studio album in nearly a decade, ‘This Is Me…Now’, which debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard Top Album Sales chart.

Live Nation said fans who purchased tickets through Ticketmaster will automatically be refunded. Lopez is currently promoting the release of her Netflix movie “Atlas,” which debuted on the streaming platform on May 24.
