Kelly Clarkson Tour Shelved For Now
Kelly Clarkson (http://www.people.com/people/kelly_clarkson)'s summer tour has been postponed, her rep said Thursday.
"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," Paul Freundlich said in a statement.
In the same statement, LiveNation CEO Michael Rapino said: "[T]icket sales have not been what we anticipated and we came to the realization that we had bit off more than we could chew."
According to the statement, ticket holders can get refunds at the point of purchase and will be notified of future concert dates once they are scheduled.
On Tuesday, the 2002 American Idol winner parted with her manager (http://www.people.com/people/article/0,,20042262,00.html), Jeff Kwatinetz of the Los Angeles-based company The Firm.
My December the first album she co-produced and wrote entirely is set for release June 25, but it has already made headlines, thanks to a well-publicized clash between Clarkson and her label chief, Clive Davis. Among other things, Clarkson complained that label execs asked her to cover a Lindsay Lohan song (http://www.people.com/people/article/0,,20038922,00.html).
