Musician Charli XCX has cancelled her upcoming tour with Fun. member Jack Antonoff's band Bleachers. The "Boom Clap" singer explained that she needed to take time off in order to be more creative.
The two had decided to extend their Charli and Jack Do America tour but now those extended dates have been cancelled. Charli took to social media to explain her reasoning behind the cancelation.

She went on to compliment Antonoff and thank him for allowing her to join him on tour.

Jack is a star and his show is truly amazing," said Charli.
Antonoff wanted to make sure that his side of the story was made clear and provided a detail account of everything that happened regarding the second leg cancellation. "So here is what happened and I'm just gonna give you the actual story with no filter.

Since I found out my team and I have been scrambling to try and figure out a way to continue with the tour on our own," explained Antonoff.
