Kelly Clarkson


Poor ticket sales have cancelled Kelly Clarkson’s summer music tour. The cancellation comes just three days after Kelly fired her management team, and only 1½ weeks before the release date for her latest album ,“My December“. The first American Idol winner is quickly becoming drama “Queen” of the music industry. She reportedly had a falling out with Clive Davis, President of RCA, in May over control of her record “ My December”. It was reportedly over a lack of hits on the album perceived by Davis. Kelly Clarkson co-wrote the album’s songs with her band members rather than professional songwriters who previously wrote songs for her albums.
The first single on My December , Never Again, slipped from 11th to 17th on this week’s Billboard Hot 100 charts, after peaking out at 8th. A rather mediocre result compared to previous blockbuster songs by Clarkson. Kelly broke the news to her fans by way of her website on Thursday.
Kelly Clarkson will probably end up touring in smaller venues at a later date this year. A much more intimate setting that her many fans will no doubt enjoy to a greater degree.
