Avril Lavigne decided to postpone her European tour because of the coronavirus

On Feb. 7, Lavigne posted a statement on Instagram letting fans know that her Love Sux Tour is postponed until 2023. In a statement, Lavigne called the announcement “unfortunate.”

“To my fans in Europe and the UK, I have some unfortunate news to share with you all about my UK and European dates,” Lavigne wrote in an Instagram post. “I have to make the difficult decision to postpone this tour until 2023.”

The statement continues, “Due to the on-going issues surrounding the pandemic, there are a series of travel and venue restrictions from country to country that have made the tour not possible to happen.”

While fans in the U.K. and Europe will not be able to see Lavigne perform the Love Sux Tour when expected, the singer assured fans that the tour will still occur in 2023.

“It’s not an easy decision, but it’s one that will help ensure that we are able to play every single date of the tour, put on the best show possible at full capacity, and operate in a safe environment,” Lavigne wrote in the statement. “It really breaks my heart to have to do this, but I know it will be worth the wait.”

At the end of the statement, Lavigne shared that tickets already purchased for the tour will be “valid” going forward.
