Katy Perry delays ‘Witness’ world tour

KATY Perry has delayed her ‘WITNESS: The Tour’ due to “production” setbacks.

The singer has been forced to push back the dates as the stage she is having designed was not ready in time for her to practise with.

The tour, which was due to kick off in Columbus, Ohio on Sept 7, will now begin in Montreal on Sept 19, but Perry has assured her fans it will be worth the wait.

Taking to Instagram, the pixiehaired beauty shared: “Due to unavoidable production delays, major elements of my tour stage design could not be available for me to rehearse on until this week.

“I’ll be spending the next few weeks taking the time to properly prepare the show to be an experience I am proud to share with you.

“I’ m sorry for any inconvenience this causes, but hope everyone who sees the show will agree it was worth the wait.

“My first show on WITNESS: The Tour will be in Montreal on September 19, and all of the rescheduled dates are listed on katyperry.com/tour (sic)”

The 32-year-old pop megastar also shared some good news, in that she will be bringing Noah Cyrus, Carly Rae Jepsen and Purity Ring out to perform at selected shows on the North American leg.

Before the run, the ‘Roar’ singer will be hosting the 2017 MTV Video Music Awards (VMAs) on Aug 27. — BANG Showbiz
