Singer says she didn’t have enough time to prepare a tour ‘at the caliber you expect from me.’ By Gil Kaufman Christina Aguilera Photo: Denise Truscello/ Wireimage In the end, there was just not enough time to get things together. That’s what Christina Aguilera told fans in an open letter she posted on her website on Tuesday, explaining her decision to pull the plug on her already-announced summer tour in support of her upcoming Bionic album. “I made the decision to move my summer tour and I am truly sorry to those of you who had purchased tickets and have been disappointed by the news,” Aguilera wrote. “Immediately after wrapping production on ‘Burlesque,’ I went directly back into the studio and then quickly started the promotional process for Bionic. With both the album press and film press, I am booked the entire summer and need time to focus on the work at hand. After reviewing the schedule with my team, I realized there was not enough time to put together and rehearse for a proper show, one that is at the caliber you expect from me or at the level I would present to my fans. In addition, my album has not even been released as yet, and I would like for you all to become familiar with the music before you hear it live on tour. Again, I am sorry to have to move the dates but I promise to come see you when the time is right!” The tour’s promoter said the dates will be rescheduled for 2011, but no specific timetable has been given for when fans will see Aguilera hit the road again.
