KELLY CLARKSON
AT US AIRWAYS CENTER
ON SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 23
HAS BEEN CANCELLED

 Las Vegas, NV (June 14, 2007) - Plans for Kelly Clarkson’s summer tour have been shelved for now as the singer and her team re-evaluate her show’s size and scope – a decision made even more difficult by the impending release of her album, “My December.” The tour was scheduled to make a stop in Phoenix at US Airways Center on Sunday, September 23^rd.

 “It is mind blowing when you stop to think about what Kelly Clarkson has achieved during her young career,” said Michael Rapino, CEO of LiveNation.  “But ticket sales have not been what we anticipated and we came to the realization that we had bit off more than we could chew.  In the end, we are in the Kelly Clarkson business and for that reason we believe that this decision will only benefit her and her fans in the long run.”

 “Kelly is a spectacular artist and an incredible performer who undoubtedly has what it takes to sustain a long and prosperous career,” added Gregg Perloff, CEO of Another Planet Entertainment.  “The day when she will play in sold-out arenas is, no doubt, coming, but for now her fans should look forward to seeing her in a more intimate concert environment.  Kelly deserves a tremendous amount of praise for her courage in not only being a part of, but in supporting, this difficult decision.”

 Tickets for the tour can be refunded at the point of purchase.

 In addition, as future concert dates become available, current ticket holders will be invited via email, mail or phone notification, to purchase tickets through an exclusive presale, which will take place prior to the general on sale date for each concert.
