Dear fans,
I made the decision to move my summer tour and I am truly sorry to those of you who had purchased tickets and have been disappointed by the news. Immediately after wrapping production on Burlesque, I went directly back into the studio and then quickly started the promotional process for Bionic. With both the album press and film press I am booked the entire summer and need time to focus on the work at hand. After reviewing the schedule with my team, I realized there was not enough time to put together and rehearse for a proper show, one that is at the caliber you expect from me or at the level I would present to my fans. In addition, my album has not even been released as yet and I would like for you all to become familiar with the music before you hear it live on tour. Again, I am sorry to have to move the dates but I promise to come see you when the time is right!
I look forward to seeing you all on the road soon enough to get BIONIC…
With love,
C/X

Christina Aguilera Postpones North American Tour
Christina Aguilera has postponed her 20-date North American summer tour until next year, according to a statement from tour producer Live Nation. The singer was set to tour in support of her new album, “Bionic,” due June 8.
“Christina Aguilera’s summer tour has been moved to 2011 due to prior commitments that the singer had made to her film ‘Burlesque’ and to the promotion of her new album ‘Bionic,’” according to a statement from Live Nation. “The singer felt she needed more time to rehearse the show and with less than a month between the album release and tour date this wasn’t possible.”
A new round of dates will be announced later this year, and ticket refunds are available at point of purchase.
Aguilera’s trek was scheduled to begin July 15 at the Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, Conn., and wrap Aug. 19 at the Verizon Wireless Amphitheater in Irvine, Calif. British pop singer Leona Lewis had been tapped to open the concerts.

Christina Promises to Wow Fans on ‘Bionic’ Tour — Exclusive Q&A and Presale
Though it’s been four years since she released ‘Back to Basics,’ Christina Aguilera has been busy. She gave birth to her first child, a son named Max, and is poised for a huge 2010 with her highly anticipated new album, ‘Bionic,’ her major motion picture debut in ‘Burlesque’ with fellow diva Cher and a new tour.
In the following Q&A, Aguilera tells PopEater about motherhood, ‘Bionic,’ working with Cher and her upcoming tour. After the interview, get the exclusive LiveNation presale code to buy tickets to Aguilera’s concerts before they go on sale to the general public.
What have you been up to since you released ‘Back to Basics’ in 2006?
I took some time off to have my son, record a new album and shoot a film, so although it was a break from touring, it really wasn’t a “break.” As an artist, you have to take some time to actually live life and that helps the creative process. So having Max and taking that year to be a mom really helped give “birth” to the album and sound.
After having Max, my perspective on life changed. I found that rather than drawing from the past, I was looking to the future and that is where this new sound came from. [It's] very much influenced by the future.
How would you describe the sound on the album?
It’s an album that has many sides. There are some great dance tracks, but also ballads that are unique and inspiring.
