Jennifer Lopez left some fans feeling let down when she axed her tour, yet it might have been a blessing in disguise.
The star was all set to kick off her 'This Is Me... Live' tour across North America on June 26, with stops in major cities including Miami, Las Vegas, New York City, Boston, and Philadelphia, plus three Canadian shows slated for August.
In May, J-Lo dropped the bombshell of the tour's cancellation, just three months before filing for divorce from Ben Affleck. She reached out to her fans via her website, On the JLo, expressing her sorrow: "I am completely heartsick and devastated about letting you down. Please know that I wouldn't do this if I didn't feel that it was absolutely necessary. I promise I will make it up to you and we will all be together again. I love you all so much. Until next time.."
Despite the setback, Jennifer has been seen waving cheerfully to her supporters. A representative for the singer confirmed to the Mirror at the time that Jennifer was "taking time off to be with her children, family and close friends."
