Singer announces she's calling off dates of her Stars Dance Tour to 'spend some time on myself.
Right
before it kicked off in Vancouver in August, Selena
Gomez made it clear to MTV News that her Stars Dance Tour
is not just a tour, but "a giant rave." And now, it seems,
she's taking a breather by cancelling the Australian leg of the tour.
A
rep for Gomez confirmed the news to MTV News on Thursday (December 19).
"My
fans are so important to me and I would never want to disappoint them,"
the "Come and Get It" singer said in a statement. "But it has
become clear to me and those close to me that after many years of putting my
work first, I need to spend some time on myself in order to be the best person
I can be."
This
is Gomez's first world tour. In between stops, Gomez has also made time for a Thanksgiving halftime performance at Cowboys
Stadium and an "X Factor" performance of her
ubiquitous "Slow Down." Back in July, the singer told us she wanted
to have her fans "exhausted" by the end of each Stars Dance show.
"The
tour is going to be really fun. I also want them to be exhausted when they
leave my shows, because I want it to be like a giant rave," she said.
"I wanted it to feel like a show, so it was always fluid with music, so
we're having a really fun time experimenting with different beats and sounds
and remixing some of my old songs, so I think they are going to be really
excited."
