Jennifer Lopez cancels tour amid personal and professional turmoil

Jennifer Lopez announced on Friday that she is forced to cancel the much-anticipated "This Is Me… Live" tour. "Jennifer is taking time off to be with her children, family and close friends," read the official statement.

Jennifer Lopez is in a dire situation. The latest reports suggest that the multimillionaire is not doing well personally or professionally. The star's latest ventures, both commercial and artistic, have been failures. Her latest production with Netflix, "Atlas," has been dubbed by critics as "the worst movie of the year."

Adding to all this is the ongoing crisis in the star's marriage to Ben Affleck, who is reportedly keeping her up at night. While the star has reportedly had enough of the controlling relationship, the desperate actress increasingly craves his attention day by day.

The artist is reportedly terrified of the inevitable divorce (her fourth) and what would follow: Lopez would once again become a global laughingstock. The actor's growing closeness does not help the situation with his ex-wife, Jennifer Garner, whom he still turns to for advice, much to J.Lo's deep dissatisfaction.

Now, the famous Latina has decided to take matters into her own hands and has taken drastic steps to save her failing marriage. She first begged Ben to join her for a walk around Los Angeles, accompanied by paparazzi. Photos of the couple holding hands aimed to quell the rumours of a crisis. Another difficult decision made by Lopez was to cancel the upcoming "This Is Me… Live" tour promoting her latest album.

Representatives for [tour promoter] Live Nation announced today that the Jennifer Lopez US Summer 2024 Tour ‘THIS IS ME…LIVE is cancelled, as reported by Daily Mail. It was added that "Jennifer is taking time off to be with her children, family and close friends."

When the news about Jennifer's decision reached the media, speculation immediately arose online that one of the main reasons for the tour's cancellation was poor ticket sales. Meanwhile, a Daily Mail source reports that interest in the concerts was high, and tickets sold quickly in major cities. Shortly after the sad news was announced, Jennifer addressed her fans in a short statement posted on her website, OntheJLo.

I am completely heartsick and devastated about letting you down. - we read. 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…".
