FKA Twigs clears visa drama as she hits stage at star-studded GITANO NYC opening
FKA Twigs lit up the stage Thursday night at the star-studded grand opening of GITANO NYC, marking her first U.S. appearance since canceling tour dates over visa issues. The British sensation, looking ultra-glam in a sleek, formfitting gown, wowed the crowd — which included Chloë Sevigny, Luann de Lesseps, and Adam Lambert — with her signature sultry vocals and magnetic stage presence. The ultra-chic venue, complete with New York's largest disco ball imported from Mexico City, set the perfect backdrop for the dazzling night. Twigs later posed for photos alongside Sevigny, Lambert, and GITANO founder and CEO James Gardner, cementing her spot as the evening's main attraction. Adding even more heat to the night, the party featured a fiery cabaret set from Violet Chachki and performances by Gitano Tulum dancers, plus DJ sets from Tom & Collins and Amber Valentine. The jaw-dropping comeback comes after Twigs was forced to axe her North American tour when a production team blunder left her without a U.S. work visa. The ultra-chic venue, complete with New York's largest disco ball imported from Mexico City, set the perfect backdrop for the dazzling night She had called the tour 'challenging' behind the scenes, which led to the string of cancellations and postponed shows. The 'heartbroken' singer, 37, announced she's been forced to back out of her shows in Chicago, Toronto and New York because the 'correct paperwork' wasn't filed. In a video posted on X, she 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. 'Behind the scenes practically with production and 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 to have our visas to come for the USA to perform. 'I don't take this lightly, I am completely devastated to be honest with you, I am heartbroken.' 'So with that being said, I will be rescheduling these shows and information will be coming on that very shortly. I can't wait to bring Eusexua to you, it's truly been one of the greatest achievements of my life.' FKA twigs was due to perform in Chicago, Illinois on March 26 and in Toronto, Canada on March 30 which would have been followed by two shows in New York on April 3 and 4. In January, FKA twigs opened up on what inspired her album EUSEXUA - and the 'healing programme' she created alongside it. She appeared on the latest episode of Spotify 's Countdown To podcast series, where she was interviewed by legendary singer-songwriter Imogen Heap. Twigs, whose real name is Tahliah Debrett Barnett, shared her insights into the album's origins and what the word means to her, ahead of its January 24 release. Along with the coining of the term EUSEXUA, FKA twigs has created THE ELEVEN: eleven pillars of movement, designed to be a form of self-healing, every one being informed by her lifelong study of movement as a dancer. Describing the album, the singer said: 'EUSEXUA is really this mixture of slightly psychadelic, childlike, playful exploration of what it is to be human. But then mixed with that, this raw, dirty, hard, sexual grit as an undertone.'

FKA twigs sparks outrage among fans after cancelling more shows due to ‘visa issues'
FKA twigs has infuriated fans after announcing that she has pulled out of Coachella Music Festival and cancelled the remainder of her North American tour dates. The singer, 37, who recently postponed several of her Eusexua US tour dates last month, explained on social media that the cancellations were due to 'ongoing visa issues'. Twigs, real name Tahliah Barnett, was scheduled to play at Coachella in Idaho, California on 11 April and 18 April this month. She also cancelled her show at AXE Ceremonia in Mexico City this weekend. In a post shared to Instagram, FKA twigs explained: 'I'm devastated to share the news that due to ongoing visa issues i am not able to see through any of my scheduled tour dates for the remainder of April across North America, including Ceremonia and Coachella. She continued: 'It pains me to say this because I am so excited to bring you a creation that I have poured my soul into and I believe is amongst my strongest work and I know this news impacts so many of you that have already made plans and spent money in order to see these shows. 'I promise that I am working to reschedule the affected dates as quickly as possible. For headline shows, please refer to your point of purchase for details and refund information. Back to you all with more updates as soon as I have them – in the meantime here are some of my favourite parts of the show that we worked so hard to create,' the singer signed off, alongside a selection of photos from other tour dates. Fans were quick to vent their frustrations over FKA twigs announcement, with many pointing out the singer has pulled out of Ceremonia festival three times in recent years. View this post on Instagram A post shared by FKA twigs (@fkatwigs) 'Again, girl??' one person asked. 'What's the point of spending money on tickets, flights, and hotels just to get canceled on for the third time? You've had months to sort this out... Visa issues at your big age? Be serious. Your fans deserve respect.' Meanwhile, another fan – who had already travelled to Mexico to see FKA Twigs perform – dubbed the singer 'unprofessional' and pointed out the singer doesn't 'need a visa to perform here'. 'This is the third time I've bought tickets to see you and the third time you cancel,' they said. Another social media user added: 'WHY do you want the whole world to turn against you? how can you afford all of those fines for last minute show cancellation? 'If you really wanted to do these shows you could've show up with a few people in your team and yourself, we wanted YOU, in mx you don't even v1sa lmao.' On X/Twitter, another fan in Mexico said: 'Third time you cancel at the last moment', and suggested she might 'lose fans' because of the decision. However, others defended FKA twigs, with one person writing, 'we love you forever and can't wait to see the show when you're able'. Meanwhile, another supporter added: 'All in good time we know you won't disappoint.' The Independent has contacted FKA twigs' representatives for comment. It comes after FKA twigs postponed several of her Eusexua US tour dates due to her visa paperwork not being submitted on time last month. This followed earlier postponements of the tour's initial shows in Prague and Berlin, which were attributed to shipping issues. The tour comes after the singer released her third studio album of the same name in January, which peaked at number three on the UK albums chart.
