	featured news Kelly Clarkson Shelves Summer Tour Thu, 14 Jun 2007 12:46:36 To be frank, Kelly, we're concerned First there's some artist-label conflict over the date of Kelly Clarkson's forthcoming release, My December, and then the singer suddenly fires her manager in a much-publicized dismissal. Now, Clarkson's camp is reporting that the former American Idol winner has shelved her summer tour due to slow ticket sales. It's not looking good here, kids. The press release reads as follows: "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. "'It is mind blowing when you stop to think about what Kelly Clarkson has achieved during her young career,' said Michael Rapino, CEO of LiveNation. 'But ticket sales have not been what we anticipated and we came to the realization that we had bit off more than we could chew. In the end, we are in the Kelly Clarkson business and for that reason we believe that this decision will only benefit her and her fans in the long run.' "'Kelly is a spectacular artist and an incredible performer who undoubtedly has what it takes to sustain a long and prosperous career,' added Gregg Perloff, CEO of Another Planet Entertainment. 'The day when she 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. Kelly deserves a tremendous amount of praise for her courage in not only being a part of, but in supporting, this difficult decision.' "Tickets for the tour can be refunded at the point of purchase." The press release also promises that ticket holders will be notified via email as soon as new dates for a Clarkson tour of smaller venues are announced. —The ARTISTdirect Staff 06.14.07 ...Back to News Home     more ARTISTdirect news Kelly Clarkson Shelves Summer Tour Thu, 14 Jun 2007 12:46:36 Asia Reunites, Records New Material Thu, 14 Jun 2007 12:39:15 Blonde Redhead Announces Tour Thu, 14 Jun 2007 12:22:34 Ash Will No Longer Release Albums Thu, 14 Jun 2007 10:33:29 Bluegrass Queen Alison Krauss Launches Major Tour Wed, 13 Jun 2007 15:27:07 Radiohead Nearly Completes New Record Wed, 13 Jun 2007 14:47:55 Transformers Soundtrack Tracklisting Revealed Wed, 13 Jun 2007 14:16:49 Rock the Bells Expands Tour Wed, 13 Jun 2007 13:45:28 iTunes Curates London Music Festival Wed, 13 Jun 2007 13:28:15 Razorlight Singer Teams up with Friends of the Earth Wed, 13 Jun 2007 11:42:53  more pop Enrique Iglesias Insomniac 06/12/2007    $11.99  Instant Karma: The Campaign to Save Darfur 06/12/2007    $17.99  Maroon 5 It Won't Be Soon Before Long 05/22/2007    $14.99  The Beach Boys The Warmth of the Sun 05/22/2007    $14.99  Rufus Wainwright Release the Stars 05/15/2007    $11.99  Barry Manilow The Greatest Songs of the Fifties 01/31/2006    $14.99  Jack Johnson Curious George 02/07/2006    $11.99  Kelly Clarkson Breakaway 11/30/2004    $14.99  more pop albums  apparel DC Shoes Ponto Sandal Black/White $13.99  DC Shoes Phife Knit $35.99  DC Shoes Superb T-Shirt $19.99  Element Clothing Ramona Tote Bag $27.99  Element Clothing Peru Baby Jersey Tee $19.99  more apparel
