Mary J Blige has cancelled what was to be her first Australasian tour.
The proclaimed Queen of Hip-Hop/R&B, who just wrapped the Heart of the City Tour with Jay Z in the US, is currently performing dates in Britain. However her overwhelming tour schedule has left her desperate for rest and she will not be making the trip to Australia this weekend as planned. Instead, the dates will be postponed to November.
In a statement the singer says:
“I want to thank all of my wonderful fans who supported the announcement of my first tour in these countries and I can’t tell you how excited I was to come down in June and put on a show for you all. Postponing these shows has been an extremely difficult decision for me and I am sincerely sorry that I will not be able to fulfil my tour commitments.”
