In a significant announcement, Demi Lovato has decided to prioritize her well-being by canceling several dates for her upcoming It’s Not That Deep Tour. This decision comes as Lovato prepares for a 23-show tour across the country, aimed at connecting with her dedicated fanbase, known as the Lovatics.
Lovato took to social media to share her thoughts, expressing her enthusiasm about returning to the stage. However, she also acknowledged the challenges she faces, stating, “While starting to prepare for the tour, I realized that I have overextended what may be possible.” This candid acknowledgment underscores the critical importance of mental health within the entertainment industry.
Rescheduling the tour
Initially slated to commence on April 10, Demi Lovato’s tour will now kick off on April 13 in Orlando, Florida. The singer announced that the cities of Nashville, Atlanta, Las Vegas, Denver, and Charlotte will no longer be included in her tour itinerary. Lovato expressed her disappointment in having to make these changes, apologizing to fans who had hoped to see her perform in these locations.
In her statement, Lovato emphasized the need for adequate time to rest and rehearse. She stated, “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.” This proactive approach not only demonstrates her commitment to delivering the best performances but also sets a precedent for prioritizing health in the demanding world of touring.
Refund details for canceled shows
For fans who purchased tickets for the canceled dates, Demi Lovato’s team has streamlined the refund process. Tickets bought through platforms like Ticketmaster and AXS will be automatically refunded. However, those who obtained tickets through third-party resellers such as StubHub or SeatGeek will need to contact those vendors directly to request refunds.
The future of the tour
Despite recent setbacks, Lovato remains optimistic about the upcoming tour. The singer expressed her excitement, stating, “I am so excited for this tour and am looking forward to seeing so many of your faces singing with me!” She reassured fans that the new date for the Orlando show would honor tickets purchased for the original date. Lovato emphasized her appreciation for their continued support during this transition.
The It’s Not That Deep Tour will mark a significant return for Demi Lovato, showcasing her electronic-pop roots alongside her ninth studio album.
