British singer-songwriter FKA Twigs has had to see herself cancel some of her North American tour due to visa issues. The artist was due to play in Chicago on March 26 with a following date in Toronto, Canada which would have also been followed by two nights in New York on April 3 and 4. The events have now all been cancelled due to a fault whilst filling the paperwork.
In a video posted online, FKA Twigs explained: “Hi everyone, I wanted to come on here to talk to you and address some things that have been happening behind the scenes in my world. So as you may have seen I have been performing the ‘Eusexua’ tour in the UK and Europe and it has been absolutely incredible the reception and the crowd and the artistic expression. Everything has been just completely amazing.”
“I feel so grateful to have been a part of such an amazing, creative process. Behind the scenes, practically, it has been challenging, and with production, the more practical side of putting this tour together. So today I was informed that production did not fill out the correct paperwork in a timely manner for us to have our visas to come to the USA and perform. So that means by no choice of my own I will have to pull out of my New York, Chicago, and Toronto shows.”
“For those of you who are wondering why I have to pull out of Toronto because it’s not part of the United States, it’s because of routing and just the complex beast that touring is. I don’t take this lightly. I’m completely devastated, to be honest with you. Completely heartbroken. All I want to do is be there with you and bring ‘Eusexua’’ to you.”
The singer reassured fans by confirming the concerts will be rescheduled and details will be shared very soon.
