Gomez says: “I am extremely disappointed to cancel these shows. My fans mean the world to me and I was so excited to perform for them. I was looking forward to the Lilith Fair concerts. The festival is a celebration and empowerment of women which is something I truly believe in and was honored that I was going to share the stage with such talented, strong women. I hope to be a part of this amazing festival in the future.”
