Jennifer Lopez tour is about to start – and it is looking like an utter disaster, Media Take Out has learned.
And according to reports, tour organizers are looking to to pull the plug over poor ticket sales. So far the singer and her manager refused, insiders have claimed.
Lopez, 54, is hitting the road next month with a string of dates across North America in support of her ninth studio album, This is Me… Now.
But with just a few weeks left, blocks of seating still available at multiple venues, according to official seat maps on Ticketmaster.
And some tickets are going for as low as $10 on secondary market sites.
‘A few weeks ago, Live Nation met with JLo’s manager Benny Medina to suggest cancelling JLo’s tour and because him and JLo are so adamant that the show must go on, it’s going on,’ an insider is quoted as saying.
Medina reportedly begged Jennifer to create her latest album This Is Me.. Now, which centers around the rekindling of her relationship with Ben Affleck 20 years after the two separated.
According to Variety, Medina – who launched JLo’s career in 1999 – believed that her love story with the actor needed to be retold, and he told her: ‘Let me put you in touch with some writers who can help you transcribe this.’
But it didn’t;t work, according to the insider.
‘JLo is over exposed and has put herself out there way too much,’ they continued. ‘First it was her marriage, then her never-ending honeymoon, followed by a movie, then an album release.
‘Then she felt the need to tell her and Ben’s love story in a documentary that she funded called The Greatest Love Story Never Told.
‘And now Benny allowed her to go on a massive tour. It is just too much.’
