Kelly Clarkson Cancels Her Summer Tour
Jun 15, 2007 - By NEKESA MUMBI MOODY (AP Music Writer)
Just two days after parting ways with her manager, Kelly Clarkson has canceled her upcoming summer tour over disappointing ticket sales, yet another sign of turmoil as she prepares to release her third album, "My December."
In a statement on her Web site, Clarkson said: "In the craziness of the music business, performing is what I look forward to doing the most, so it really is disappointing for me to have to tell you that I won't be coming out to tour this summer. The fact is that touring is just too much too soon.
"But I promise you that we're going to get back out there as soon as is humanly possible to give you a show that will be even better," she added.
In a statement released by her new representative, Paul Freundlich, it acknowledged the sales for the arena tour have been slow. The tour will be on hold and the size of it will be re-evaluated, the statement said.
"The day when she will play in sold-out arenas is, no doubt, coming, but for now her fans should look forward to seeing her in a more intimate concert environment," Gregg Perloff, CEO of concert promoter Another Planet Entertainment, said in the statement. "Kelly deserves a tremendous amount of praise for her courage in not only being a part of, but in supporting, this difficult decision."
I said it months ago, Kelly Clarkson unfortunately has a DUD of an album coming out. This is what happens when successfull artist's want to "write their own songs" and become a musician, when writers in this country exsist for a reason. Must i remind everyone that "Breakaway" had 4 tours that all sold out?! TRAGIC is the word
