Kelly Clarkson Tour Postponed

And now for the bummer of the day… Kelly Clarkson has announced that her summer tour has been postponed pending some major changes.  And what timing; her new album comes out in less than two weeks.

Kelly is really broken up over the news.  She told fans on her website, “I can’t tell you how much I’ve been looking forward to getting out there to perform for y’all.”

"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.”

In spite of the bad news, Kelly offers a little light at the end of the tunnel.  “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. Thanks for all of your love and continued support.”

Clarkson’s rep told press yesterday, “Plans for Kelly Clarkson’s summer tour have been shelved for now as the singer and her team re-evaluate her show’s size and scope – a decision made even more difficult by the impending release of her album, My December.”

The real reason for the tour’s postponement may be slow ticket sales, something that has affected many artists.  Michael Rapino, CEO of LiveNation said, “Ticket sales have not been what we anticipated and we came to the realization that we had bit off more than we could chew.”

Hang in there, all you Kelly Clarkson fans.  Your day is coming.
