Kelly Clarkson tour has been postponed.
Kelly Clarkson Tour Shelved – For Now
THURSDAY JUNE 14, 2007 02:20 PM EDT
By Emily Fromm
Kelly Clarkson
Kelly Clarkson's summer tour has been postponed, her rep said Thursday.
"Plans for Kelly Clarkson's summer tour have been shelved for now as the singer and her team re-evaluate her show's size and scope – a decision made even more difficult by the impending release of her album, My December," Paul Freundlich said in a statement.
In the same statement, LiveNation CEO Michael Rapino said: "[T]icket sales have not been what we anticipated and we came to the realization that we had bit off more than we could chew."
According to the statement, ticket holders can get refunds at the point of purchase and will be notified of future concert dates once they are scheduled.
The new dates may well take place at smaller venues than originally planned. Gregg Perloff, CEO of Another Planet Entertainment, says in the statement: "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."
This has been a tumultuous week for the 2002 American Idol winner, who on Tuesday parted with her manager, Jeff Kwatinetz of the Los Angeles-based company The Firm.
My December – the first album she co-produced and wrote entirely – is set for release June 25, but it has already made headlines, thanks to a well-publicized clash between Clarkson and her label chief, Clive Davis. Among other things, Clarkson complained that label execs asked her to cover a Lindsay Lohan song.

Re: Kelly Clarkson tour has been postponed.
I respect her for standing up for what she believes in, but early on in her career she shouldn't be p'issing off Clive Davis - she's cutting her nose to spite her face, not a good move!

Good for her.
I agree! she wants to be an artist, not famous!
I give her so much credit b/c i am sure it is so much easier just to give in and sell out!

holy crap...I never would cover a Lindsey Lohan song if I were her. She has more talent in her pinky finger than Lindsey. None of Lindseys songs ever had the appeal that Kelly's did. Kelly has a platinum album!!

Re: Kelly Clarkson tour has been postponed.
I'm glad she is sticking to her guns and not agreeing to anything she feels would not be in her best interest.
I'm shocked that ticket sales were down though. I thought she had a decent following.

Re: Kelly Clarkson tour has been postponed.
I am also surprised that ticket sales didn't do well...she's had such a following and has had so many hits since winning AI.
Why would they want her to cover a Lindsay Lohan song???? First of all...didn't even know one existed...second of all...doesn't Kelly have enough songs of her own to sing????????
