What they’re saying

“I am so excited to get back on stage this year and visit you in as many cities as I can. While starting to prepare for the tour, I realized that I have overextended what may be possible. To protect my health, and ensure I can give you my all at each show, I need to build in more time to rest and rehearse and ultimately adjust to a schedule with some more time off that will allow me to handle the entire run of the tour.”

What’s next

Fans who purchased tickets for the canceled shows through Ticketmaster or AXS will receive refunds automatically, while those who bought from third-party resellers should reach out to those sellers. All previously purchased tickets for the rescheduled Orlando show on April 13 will be honored.

The takeaway

Lovato's tour cancellations underscore the importance of artist health and wellness, as well as the challenges of managing rigorous performance schedules. While disappointing for fans, the postponements aim to ensure Lovato can deliver her best for the full tour run.
