Jennifer Lopez also expressed her gratitude to fans who had been planning to attend her shows.

“When it comes up, I like to apologize to the fans because I know a lot of them were coming out,” Lopez said.



 

She recounted an encounter with fans in the UK who shared that they had planned to attend her concert.

“This was actually very touching,” she shared. “Coming out of the hotel yesterday, they were like, ‘I had tickets to go see you!’ And I was like, ‘I’m so sorry.’ He was like, ‘Don’t say sorry, we love you.’ I started crying right away,” said Lopez, according to People.

She approached him for a hug and recalled, “I got in the car and literally cried. Honestly, it was very hard for me to cancel, and I’ve never done that before. I’m sorry."
