Los Angeles - UPI
Australian rapper Iggy Azalea is no longer kicking off her Great Escape tour in April.
Def Jam announced in a statement Tuesday the tour will be pushed back until the Fall due to "tour production delays." Singer Nick Jonas, who was scheduled to open the show for Azalea, is no longer a part of the tour.
"To accommodate for creative team availability and tour production plans, it was determined that the tour will not be ready this spring," read the statement. "It is extremely important to Iggy that she delivers the show she envisaged to share with her fans and that requires more time in development."
A tweet from the singer's team stated "the tour getting pushed back only means that it'll be way more amazing than it would've been in April. Good things take time."
