“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…”
While this might seem a surprise, whispers of low ticket sales and empty seats have been buzzing. At some point, J.Lo even tried to jazz up the tour’s appeal by renaming it “This Is Me… Live | The Greatest Hits,” shifting focus from her latest album to a greatest hits type of show. Despite the not-so-hot ticket numbers, sources close to the singer pointed to strong demand for the concert in Newark, Miami, or Toronto, seemingly shutting down the poor demand rumors.
This tour cancellation also takes place amid Ben Affleck divorce rumors, which have ignited for the last couple of months. The reason? The actor has been spotted ringless and whispers of the couple living separately. As a result, the reasons for canceling the tour seem to be strongly linked to family and marriage issues J.Lo and Ben Affleck could be going through.
