Back in March, Iggy announced that her Great Escape tour, originally scheduled to begin in April, had been pushed back and was being rescheduled to occur in the fall because of production delays. The tour was then slated to commence on Sept. 18 in San Diego, California and wrap on Oct. 27 in Glendale, Arizona.
In a recent announcement, Iggy said that the tour has been cancelled and promised to be back out on the road as soon as her next album is finished. In February, she said that she was in the middle of recording the said album.
"I'm working on my second album at the moment," Iggy told On Air with Ryan Seacrest during her in-studio interview. "I'm at the beginning stages. I started working on it. I maybe only got a week of recording in to be honest with you since January. And then I started doing all this Grammys stuff, and then I decided to direct the music video for my new single with Jennifer Hudson called 'Trouble,' so that took up a lot of time."
No further details about the second cancellation are available. Even the artist's tour promoter, AEG and representatives from her record label, Def Jam, did not respond to emails to give their comments.
"Iggz HQ: 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," tweeted Iggy.

Ticket holders received an email where they were informed about the news.
"The Iggy Azalea Great Escape Tour scheduled for this fall has been canceled and refunds are available at point of purchase," stated the email.
It went on to say that a new tour is being planned out in time for the release of Iggy's new record in 2016.
The Aussie rapper added on Twitter how some of the shows are not cancelled.
"The cancellations don't include Pittsburgh Pride, Ottawa Bluesfest, Québec Summer Festival, or Washington State Fair. Still coming to those!," tweeted Iggy.

Iggy hinted at the reason for canceling some of the shows to AMP Radio's Michelle and Booker.
"I don't want to have an average tour with a normal stage and this kind of thing. I want people to come and really feel they got their money's worth ... and they want to come back and tell their friends about it."
