Controversies

Cancellations and ticket sale rumors

A few days before the tour began, multiple US dates were cancelled, specifically, Orlando, a second date at MSG, Boston, Washington DC, New Jersey, Saint Paul, Phoenix and Detroit.^[15] A lot of speculation about low ticket sales was given as the reason, however, this was later debunked by the fact that both the opening shows sold out. ^[16] The cancellations were reportedly due to the economic situation and inflation - beyond the group's control.^{[citation needed]}
