The genie has gone back in her bottle for the time being now that her comeback doesn’t seem to be going as planned. Christina Aguilera has pulled the plug on her summer tour, pushing it back to 2011, claiming that she needs more time to prepare due to her hectic schedule and leaving fans very angry, with some claiming they have no intention of getting tickets for the new dates.
Per Ace Showbiz:
“Christina Aguilera’s summer tour has been moved to 2011 due to prior commitments that the singer had made to her film ‘Burlesque‘ and to the promotion of her new album ‘Bionic‘,” a statement from her camp read. “The singer felt she needed more time to rehearse the show and with less than a month between the album release and tour date this wasn’t possible.”
I’ve heard of a lot of excuses for canceling tours over the years, but bless her heart for coming up with a new one. While that may be the announced reason for the postponement, one can’t help but to wonder if it’s due to the lack of ticket sales, especially after her latest public rift with Lady Gaga (Read about that here.) Her reasoning is odd for a few reasons. Traditionally, concerts are how you promote a new album, so saying she has to cancel concerts to promote the album is sort of a catch 22. Also, this is still three months away. How much rehearsal time could Christina really need? Filming on the movie wrapped in March, so what big “commitments” other than promotion which, you know concerts kinda do, could she have? Most likely Christina is using this all as an excuse because the tour was facing disastrous sales. Oh well, I guess her backup dancers are free to cough as they please for a little while longer without receiving a death stare.
