celeb news FKA twigs cancels all of her April tour dates (including Coachella)

[Mania]

As believer of Jesus Christ, North West, the "angelic" daughter of all things evil Kanye-Trump-Hitlar-Kardashian West would say, "God help her".

She literally said on her original post from past postponed dates that it's her dancers and crew who had their visas denied

An overwhelming majority of the EU and all of the UK can travel within the US for up to 90 days at a time without the need for a visa.  So what is the truth?  Mexico is even more lenient.

i find it really hard to believe that a british person had issues with getting a us visa, sorry

I smell BS. Isn't she British? You can just apply for ESTA and get in the US within 72 hours. What the **** is she even talking about? 
 

She has no respect for her fans and that is extremely disgusting. 

I don't think you can perform (work) with an ESTA

[qurl]

i gave her grace before but this is just nuts and so disappointing for the people that bought tickets to her shows. she also probably knew she was gonna have to cancel these days long before today when she announced it.

 

she should fire whoever was in charge of her visa paperwork, and if it was her, she needs to act more professional and stop coveting Kardashian approval .. this is not the twigs i found and became a stan of back in 2014

[Jay07]

Are you telling me no one bothered to renew the visas before an entire tour went underway? I have never heard of this happening before, ever this is wild. Is she throwing a fit or something? The cancellation fees alone. 

[gatito]

mind you her mexican show was supposed to be tomorrow she's just an unprofessional selfish jerk at this point and i'm done with her sorry ašš

[toast]

Love ha but it's going to be incredibly difficult to regain credibility as a touring act

[@michael]

This is laughably pathetic from a major artist like twigs who has been around this industry for over a decade now. How does your management mess things up this badly when you're this deep into the game? Unacceptable. Whole team needs fired and her insurance rates need to go through the roof for canceling so many shows.

[blaggot]

go against RideOrDie it's gon cost ya

[Bubble Tea]

Does she have drug charges or something that's causing her visa issues? Surely she's not so well off she can afford to scrap so many planned dates...

[fememeist]

Including that list of wushu and opera, should be tour canceller

Report back to us.

 

I love Twigs but she's really been getting on my nerves lately with her bullshit. I'm kind of over her now.

[paper moon]

What an absolute mess

Talking about visa issues when you don't even need a visa to travel to Mexico for less than 180 days...

If she was on vacation yes, but artists need visas to perform in foreign countries because it's work at the end of the day. 

[Genie in a Bottle]

Figgy Twigs I think is a cooler name. Maybe she should change it to that and she'd gain some much needed aura points.

[BadBoy]

Well Primavera is next, they better book Oklou or PinkPantheress i don't care about their awful performing skills. 

[BlahBlahBlah]

What venues are going to even want to risk booking her at this rate. She is already notorious for pulling **** like this 

[State of Grace.]

This is just pathetic and beyond disrespectful. She's insanely talented and Eusexua is still AOTY lowkey, but lord she's such an unprofessional and unreliable performer. I lost count of the times she cancelled tour dates or festivals. Primavera twice, Coachella, countless shows, sis....get it together

She's working and earning thousands of $$$, not going up the Statue of Liberty and eating hot dogs. Bffr

Guess we found out where Rideordie works now

[lillavend3r]

Robert Pattinson i never doubted you

[Rogue_Redux]

@RideOrDie ending her like this lmao

[MatiRod]

I know a lot of artists big & small cancelling tour dates in the US rn because of the unpredictable border/immigration situation. No one wants to be detained in a cell for weeks for no reason. Even for more higher profile people, no one is assuming that being googleable will protect you, if anything the Trump administration seems to relish in the bad publicity. Twigs is claiming it's Visa issues which is related, it's possible that whatever orders have been given to border agencies are processing things slower or denying permits for random reasons. Travelling to the US rn is very touchy. I am not going to judge her for erring on the side of caution and cancelling the tour now rather than hope the Visa comes through or risk issues trying to enter the country.

And usually if a person is found to be working while in the country on a tourist visa, that's grounds for deportation and potentially being banned from entering the country again. And I feel like the way things are in the US at the moment, you do not want to try sneaking in
