(NewsNation) — Jennifer Lopez has made the difficult decision to cancel her upcoming 'This Is Me … Live' summer tour, citing personal reasons according to reports from the entertainer's newsletter.

In a statement to fans, the announcement conveyed that Lopez is taking a hiatus to prioritize time with her children, family, and close friends. This decision impacts ticket holders who purchased through Ticketmaster, as they will receive automatic refunds. Those who bought tickets via third-party platforms are advised to contact their points of purchase directly.

The cancellation comes amidst challenges for Lopez's career, including reports of disappointing album sales and sluggish ticket demand for her recent tour dates. According to the New York Post, these factors have jeopardized Lopez's upcoming Las Vegas residency at MGM Grand, which was reportedly set to command $1 million per show over 90 dates starting next year. Concerns over ticket sales have led to the cancellation of several summer tour shows.

Jennifer Lopez is not alone in facing struggles in the music industry. Pitchfork reported that The Black Keys, a prominent blues rock duo, also canceled their arena tour scheduled to begin in September, opting for smaller venues due to limited ticket sales shortly after tickets went on sale.

The challenges highlight broader issues in the live music landscape, where even established artists like Jennifer Lopez and The Black Keys encounter difficulties amidst changing market dynamics and audience preferences.
