LONDON. July 19. KAZINFORM Madonna has snubbed Australian fans by cancelling her upcoming tour dates, her first in the country for 20 years, Kazinform refers to BBC.
The singer's concert promoter, Live Nation, confirmed the cancellation overnight on Tuesday, but did not give any reason.
Madonna was due to confirm summer dates earlier this month but delayed the announcement until after the Olympics.
The pop star also bypassed Australia on her last two tours, citing logistics and financial reasons for pulling out.
Reports in Australian media suggested that stadiums had already been booked in Sydney and Melbourne for next year's leg of the MDNA tour.
There was speculation that the tour became unviable due to high ticket costs and a crowded concert market.
"Madonna's tour will end in South America in December as planned. That's all we can say," a spokesperson said.
