Enrique Iglesias Pulls out of Britney Tour

Enrique Iglesias Pulls Out Of Britney's Overpriced Tour!

enrique pulls out of britney tour

Better find a REALLY good replacement! Or lower ticket prices ASAP!

Enrique Iglesias has abruptly pulled out of Brit Brit's North America tour, mere hours after the tour was officially announced!

He was slated to perform as the ultimate opening act for Britney, but now it looks like they'll have to find someone else.

Good for him! Given the absurd prices that they're charging for tickets, perhaps he thought better of it all.

Hopefully they can find someone good to replace Enrique. At $96 - $346, Britney is going to need to REALLY impress her fans to convince them to throw down SO much $$$ to go see her.

…Maybe she can convince NSYNC to reunite solely to join her on tour! If she can pull that off, then MAYBE we'd say those ticket prices are justified! Ha!

Who do U think they should bring on to replace Enrique on Britney's tour?

Nicki Minaj in talks to join Britney Spears tour

NASHVILLE (Hollywood Reporter) - Sources say that Nicki Minaj is in discussions -- but not confirmed -- to support Britney Spears on the latter's upcoming tour after Enrique Iglesias abruptly pulled out hours after the tour was announced.

Minaj is currently on the road with Lil Wayne on his "I Am Still Music" tour. Spears' tour begins June 17 in Sacramento. Tour promoter Live Nation and representatives for Minaj could not be reached for comment.

Hours after a Spears-Iglesias tour was announced on Tuesday, Iglesias pulled out of the summer trek, reportedly due to money and the perception that Iglesias would be opening for Spears instead of co-headlining the tour with her.

Although Spears has expressed interest in adding Usher to the tour, the R&B star is highly unlikely to join the trek, as he is managed by Randy Phillips who also helms AEG Live, producers of Spears' last tour and very competitive with current promoter Live Nation.

"Femme Fatale," Spears' seventh album that was released on Tuesday and is expected to reach No. 1 on next week's Billboard 200. Meanwhile, Nicki Minaj's debut album, "Pink Friday," has moved 1.3 million copies since its November release, according to Nielsen SoundScan.

Britney lipsynchs and Enrique uses too much autotune, sales wise Nicki could save this tour.

I cried reading this...Found it online.

Ok, so a little backstory. My best friend was killed in a car accident on December 30, 2010. He was only 26. It’s been extremely rough on me. Anyways, we worked togemyr for a LONG time and when we first met, he was like “wait, you’re a B R I T N E Y S P E A R S fan? You goon!”. But over my time I spent blaring her music at work, he became a little bit of a fan himself. He even asked me to burn him my Circus album and told me to make him mixes of all my hottest songs out at my moment and specifically said “don’t forget to put my new Brritney songs on myre!”.

So…today, I bought my deluxe edition of Femme Fatale for myself and a standard edition. I am taking my standard edition to my cemetary and laying it on his grave with a note on it, written to him and telling his sister that when she comes to visit, she can have my CD. I know for a FACT that if he were still here, he’d be making fun of me, but we’d still be rockin’ out to Femme Fatale togemyr. I miss him, I just thought it would be something nice to do.

Enrique Iglesias’ Ego Can’t Handle Touring With Britney Spears
Posted on 2011/03/30 at 10:15 AM

There was quite a bit of confusion yesterday with whether or not Enrique Iglesias was going to join Britney Spears on her concert tour. Hours after the tour details came out Billboard announced that Iglesias pulled out, leaving many of us scratching our heads.

The reason? Multiple sources who are connected with Britney‘s tour have told TMZ Enrique‘s ego couldn’t handle being Britney’s opening act.

Even though the deal was favourable, “great terms and great placement” Enrique just couldn’t take the fact that he would be taking the stage before Britney. Just before Britney‘s management went public on the tour details, Enrique spoke to many people confirming that he was her opening act and wanted out.

Wow! Well there you have it!

Not shocked id buy this in a second, hes got that latin ego shit, and its well known that he does, he was pulling this stuff overseas with Nicole Scherzinger when the duet with her took off he figured since it was then on his album that he should be the focus while promoting it, interviews etc...however in the UK they could care less what he had to say and had Nicole field the questions for the most part, which didnt sit well with him.

Britney lip-syncs most of her show lol Nikki should stay far away from a tour like this.Besides,she could damn near headline her own tour at this point.
