Kelly Clarkson's Summer Tour Postponed


This has been a bad week for Kelly Clarkson.

After firing her longtime manager Jeff Kwatinetz on Tuesday, the “American Idol” winner and her new management have decided to delay Clarkson’s upcoming tour for her new album, “My December.”

"Ticket sales have not been what we anticipated, and we came to the realization that we had bit off more than we could chew,” LiveNation CEO Michael Rapino revealed to People.

Those who have already purchased tickets will be refunded and notified of any future concert dates.

"The day when [Kelly] will play in sold-out arenas is, no doubt, coming, but for now her fans should look forward to seeing her in a more intimate concert environment," said Gregg Perloff, CEO of Another Planet Entertainment.

Kelly has just posted a message for disappointed fans on her website.

In it, she writes, “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."

“My December” is the first album Clarkson co-produced and wrote entirely, but the album has caused some controversy after reports surfaced that the singer and RCA chief, Clive Davis, were clashing over the record.

kevin, you are so wrong. kelly is the only female singer at this point that does not need to lipsync, she can acutually sing. it is the cost of tickets that are hurting live music. kelly will be around for a very long time.

Kelly is so selfish anyways, quite a few of my friends used to be fans but they turn the radio when her songs come on. She is waaaaay to big for her britches. It is not so much of not remembering where you come from, but rather a case of she is just not that great. She will never be an icon. You won’t even be able to put her name and that word in the same sentence.
