FKA Twigs Cancels North American Tour Amid Visa Complications
Renowned artist FKA Twigs has expressed her deep disappointment as she announces the cancellation of her remaining North American tour dates, primarily due to ongoing visa challenges.
Official Announcement on Social Media
In a heartfelt message to her followers, FKA Twigs shared the news via social media last month, revealing that initial visa issues had already forced her to forgo performances in key cities such as New York, Chicago, and Toronto. In her message, she stated: “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.”
Impact on Upcoming Shows
As the situation has evolved, she has now confirmed that all dates for the remainder of April will be cancelled, including performances at significant events like Coachella and Axe Ceremonia. She expressed her regret, stating, “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 know this news impacts so many of you that have already made plans and spent money in order to see these shows.”
