Jennifer Lopez hailed cancelling her tour "the best thing she'd ever done"

Speaking on Friday's (08.11.24) episode of 'The Graham Norton Show', she said: "I took the summer off to be home with the kids, which is the best thing I have ever done.

"It was not like me to do that, so I always want to apologise to the fans."

The 'On the Floor' hitmaker told how she'd had an emotional encounter with a fan the day before who told her she didn't need to say sorry for the cancellation.

She said: "Actually, something very touching happened when I was coming out of the hotel yesterday. A fan came up to me and said, 'I had tickets to come and see you.' When I apologised, he said, 'Don't say sorry we love you.' I started crying straight away."

The stunned 'Unstoppable' star was then told that, by coincidence, the fan in question was in the audience for the show.

Offering a hug and another apology, Jennifer told him: "Was that you? I don't believe it."

When she announced the cancellation of the tour, the 'Jenny From the Block' hitmaker admitted the decision had left her feeling "completely heartsick".

In a Live Nation newsletter, she wrote at the time: "I am completely heartsick and devastated about letting you down. Please know that I wouldn't do this if I didn't feel that it was absolutely necessary.

"I promise I will make it up to you and we will all be together again. I love you all so much. Until next time ..."
