Jennifer Lopez Cancels This Is Me… Live Tour: ‘I Am Completely Heartsick’
Written by djfrosty on May 31, 2024
Jennifer Lopez has canceled her This Is Me … Live Tour just one month before the trek was slated to kick off in Orlando.
Live Nation announced the news Friday (May 31), saying that, “Jennifer is taking time off to be with her children, family and close friends.” The North American escapade had been scheduled to begin June 26 at the Kia Center in Orlando, Fla. and run through mid-August, with shows blocked off for venues across the United States and parts of Canada.
On her website, the 54-year-old singer-actress shared a personal statement to fans. “I am completely heartsick and devastated about letting you down,” she wrote. “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,” Lopez added. “Until next time…”

This Is Me … Live was meant to be the Hustlers star’s first concert tour in five years, supporting her latest album This Is Me … Now. She first announced the stint in February, one month before rescheduling seven stops due to routing issues.
Lopez’s team is now working to issue refunds to fans who purchased tickets. Those who bought seats via Ticketmaster will receive them automatically, whereas people who went through third-party resale sites such as SeatGeek, StubHub and VividSeats will need to reach out to their points of purchase for more details.
The “I’m Real” singer kicked off the month by co-chairing the 2024 Met Gala — which she attended in a glimmering silver Schiaparelli gown — alongside Chris Hemsworth, Bad Bunny and Zendaya. Her latest film, the Brad Peyton-directed Atlas, premiered on Netflix May 24.
While promoting the film in Mexico City with costar Simu Liu last week, things turned awkward when a reporter asked her about ongoing rumors about her marriage. “Is your divorce with Ben Affleck real?” the journalist asked, to which Lopez responded with a tight smile, “You know better than that.”
