Katy Perry Cancels Concerts Last-Minute Amid Space Flight Backlash
In the wake of the widespread backlash for her participation in the Blue Origin space flight, announced the cancellation of two of her tour dates. The 40-year-old took to her Instagram Stories at the start of the week to tell fans, via Billboard, "Sadly, I learned that the construction of Arena Guadalajara will not be complete for their scheduled shows next week, which includes mine on May 1 and 2," referring to her Lifetimes Tour set to start on April 23 in Mexico City, Mexico. 🎬 🎬 She went on, claiming that she sent some people to the arena to see if there was any way they could help get it ready in time, but she said it was clear that "the venue was not ready or safe to receive my show or an audience." "I wish I could fix this but it is beyond my control," Perry told her fans. "You guys mean the world to me and we have all been on such a beautiful journey together that I will be thinking about how I can create something special for the fans in Guadalajara in the future.' Other artists like Carlos Rivera and Intocable were also forced to cancel shows as a result of the arena's delays. Despite the unfortunate situation with the canceled shows, Perry has been getting fans hyped up about the tour with previews on social media. On April 20, the "Firework" singer shared a promo video, teasing some of the visuals fans can expect to see in the show.

Katy Perry Cancels Guadalajara Concerts Due to Unfinished Venue
Katy Perry's upcoming concerts in Guadalajara, Mexico, have been canceled. The shows, set for May 1 and 2, aren't able to take place because the construction of the new Arena Guadalajara won't be done in time. Perry shared the news in an Instagram Story, writing, 'Sadly, I learned that the construction of Arena Guadalajara will not be complete for their scheduled shows next week, which includes mine on May 1 and 2.'

She continued, 'Last week I sent my team to the Arena to make sure there wasn't anything we could do to make this happen but it was evident when they arrived that the venue was not ready or safe to receive my show or an audience. I wish I could fix this but it is beyond my control. You guys mean the world to me and we have all been on such a beautiful journey together that I will be thinking about how I can create something special for the fans in Guadalajara in the future.' Arena Guadalajara also axed upcoming shows by Carlos Rivera and Intocable. In a statement, the venue noted that 'the cancelation of the concerts is beyond the control of the artists.' Tickets for all shows will be refunded. Perry will kick off her Lifetimes Tour tomorrow in Mexico City. The global trek runs though Aug. 22, with stops around North America. She'll then conclude the Lifetimes run by visiting South America and Europe. The tour marks the singer's first time on the road in seven years. 'We're giving BPM. We're giving celebration. We're giving unity. We're giving dance,' Perry told Rolling Stone. 'It will be like Disneyland on Wheels, as it always is. A feast for the eyes and the ears.' She also teased that she'll play her 'whole life' of hits thus far, while sprinkling in songs from last year's 143 and 2020's Smile, which didn't get a tour after she welcomed her daughter Daisy that year. 'I always remember the audience is a hybrid of different types of people: It's number one fans, and then it's voyeurs. It's people that only know me for one song, and then people that know 'Simple,'' Perry says, referring to her 2005 deep cut featured on The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants. 'It's such a smorgasbord. I have a responsibility to the audience to give them that singalong, to create that moment, and to bring out some nostalgia.' Perry recently made headlines (good and bad) for being part of the all-female space flight on Blue Origin's New Shepard. Perry was joined onboard by fellow voyagers Gayle King, activist Amanda Nguyen, movie producer Kerianne Flynn, and entertainment reporter (and Bezos' fiancée) Lauren Sánchez. Aisha Bowe, a former NASA aerospace engineer, was also on the flight, which marks Blue Origin's 31st overall flight and 11th suborbital flight with humans aboard.

Katy Perry cancels Mexico shows due to venue construction issues
Katy Perry has cancelled two shows in Mexico because construction of the venue will not be completed in time. The 40-year- pop star had been due to take her 'Lifetimes Tour' to the city of Guadalajara on May 1 and 2 but it's now been confirmed the Arena Guadalajara venue will not be ready in time to host the concerts so they have been cancelled along with gigs by Carlos Rivera on April 25 and Intocable on April 26. Katy shared the news with fans in a post on Instagram, writing: "Sadly, I learned that the construction of Arena Guadalajara will not be complete for their scheduled shows next week, which includes mine on May 1 and 2. "Last week I sent my team to the Arena to make sure there wasn't anything we could do to make this happening but it was evident when they arrived that the venue was not ready or safe to receive my show or an audience. I wish I could fix this but it is beyond my control. "You guys mean the world to me and we have all been on such a beautiful journey together that I will be thinking about how I can create something special for the fans in Guadalajara in the future. I love you all." A statement from Zignia Live, the promoter and venue owner, added: "We seek to offer you shows with the quality and safety that you deserve, and although we have made our greatest effort together with our contractors and workers, we are not yet completely ready to receive you. "We will soon be ready to offer you the experience you expect and deserve." Katy is due to kick off the 'Lifetimes Tour' with three shows at the Arena CDMX in Mexico City on April 23, 25 and 26 which will be followed by two concerts in Monterrey, Mexico on April 28 and 29 before she takes the tour to Houston, Texas on May 7.

Katy Perry forced to cancel shows in Mexico amid pop star's global Lifetimes Tour following backlash over Blue Origin space flight
Pop star Katy Perry has been forced to cancel two upcoming shows in Mexico amid backlash over her Blue Origin space flight. Perry, 40, took to Instagram on Tuesday to announce her shows in the western Mexico city of Guadalajara on May 1 and 2, which formed part of her global Lifetimes Tour, had been cancelled due to incomplete construction at the host stadium. "Sadly, I learned that the construction of Arena Guadalajara will not be complete for their scheduled shows next week, which includes mine on May 1 and 2," she said. "Last week, I sent my team to the Arena to make sure there wasn't anything we could do to make this happen, but it was evident when they arrived that the venue was not ready or safe to receive my show or an audience. "I wish I could fix this, but it is beyond my control. You guys mean the world to me, and we have all been on such a beautiful journey together that I will be thinking about how I can create something special for the fans in Guadalajara in the future. "I love you ALL." On Tuesday, venue operator Zignia Live also announced shows by singer Carlos Rivera and the band Intocable were cancelled on April 25 and 26, respectively, due to circumstances "out of the control of the artists". "And we deeply appreciate your support and understanding,' Zignia Live said in a statement. The setback comes as Perry kicked off her Lifetimes Tour in Mexico City on Wednesday before the I Kissed A Girl hitmaker is due to perform in Australian cities Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, and Perth in June. She safely returned to Earth last week after reaching space aboard Amazon founder Jeff Bezos's Blue Origin New Shepard rocket. For the first time since 1963, the all-female flight crew included Bezos's fiancee Lauren Sánchez, CBS broadcaster Gayle King, aerospace engineer Aisha Bowe, activist Amanda Nguyen, and Kerianne Flynn. Perry said their 11-minute mission was for "the benefit of Earth" and kissed the planet's ground when she exited the craft after landing. However, research revealed the Blue Origin rocket launch released greenhouse gases, which "altered the stratosphere". Despite the aerospace company's claim the "only byproduct of New Shepard's engine combustion is water vapour with no carbon emissions" during flight, University College London's Atmospheric Chemistry and Air Quality professor Eloise Marais said water vapour is a greenhouse gas that depletes the "ozone layer, and also forms clouds that affect climate". The research coincided with Perry's resurfaced UNICEF weather report in 2015 on the effects of climate change "hurting children around the world." Actress and model Emily Ratajkowski said she was "literally disgusted" Perry's space travel had effectively undermined the pop star's own cause. "This is beyond parody. Saying that you care about Mother Earth, and you're going up in a spaceship that is built and paid for by a company that's single-handedly destroying the planet," Ratajkowski said on TikTok. Actress Olivia Munn also criticised the expedition on the Today show earlier this month, saying it costs "so much money to go to space." "There's a lot of people who can't even afford eggs...I think it's a bit gluttonous," Munn said. "Space exploration was to further our knowledge and to help mankind. "What are they going to do up there that has made it better for us down here?" Podcast host Joe Rogan also mocked Perry for bringing a daisy to space with her in a tribute to her daughter Daisy, which she flashed to the cameras as the crew floated around the capsule. 'She brought a daisy, which is super important. It shows you how quick the flight was,' Rogan said in an episode of his podcast earlier this month. 'The dead daisy that's like snipped from its life source was still alive or still vibrant.'
