The singer spoke about the Russia anniversary tour amid rumors of cancellations
In a candid conversation, the artist explained that there was no information confirming the cancellation of the milestone tour planned for Russia. The discussion shed light on what was happening behind the scenes, suggesting that some of the confusion stemmed from how event listings were managed rather than from official word from the performer.
During the exchange, the performer noted that the anniversary tour had already progressed well, with several segments wrapped up before a planned year-end pause. The artist emphasized that the schedule ahead included additional concerts, and there had been no personal decision to pull back on the tour at that time.
To address the chatter about cancellations, the singer pointed out that the challenges appeared to lie with the websites that host tour information. In other words, the platforms responsible for updating show dates might have been slower to reflect real-time changes, leaving fans and media to speculate based on partial data.
On a Telegram channel, a claim surfaced that a Russian anniversary tour would be canceled, citing an unnamed source from the concert industry. The report added that the decision was connected to social activism following a high-profile event attended by the artist. The post appeared to fan the flames of rumor without providing verifiable confirmation.
In February, reports indicated that certain scheduled performances in Russia were affected. A set of concerts in Perm and Yekaterinburg had already been moved or postponed, with the originals slated for mid to late March. The dates cited for these cities included a March 19 show in Perm and a March 21 show in Yekaterinburg, causing concern among fans who were looking forward to seeing the performer live.
Earlier in the year, further assertions claimed that all Moscow region appearances were cancelled. The tour lineup had included a handful of cities in the Moscow region, with appearances planned in towns such as Lyubertsy, Chekhov, Orekhovo-Zuevo, Podolsk, Korolev, Ramenskoye, and others. This broader claim amplified uncertainty, making it harder for fans to understand which shows were still on and which were off. The artist’s team has consistently advised checking official channels for the most accurate and up-to-date information, urging fans to rely on confirmed announcements rather than rumors that circulate online.
Industry outlets have also weighed in on the situation, offering context about how tour schedules can shift in response to a range of factors, from venue availability to regulatory considerations and audience dynamics. The dialogue around these changes highlights how quickly information can spread and how essential it is to verify details through reliable communications. As the situation develops, fans are encouraged to monitor official tour notices and ticketing partners for definitive statements.

Overall, while rumors continue to circulate, there is no confirmed public decree canceling the anniversary tour. The situation underscores the importance of distinguishing between rumor and verified news in the live-music ecosystem, especially when large tours traverse multiple regions with varying regulatory landscapes and audience expectations. For followers in North America, where market timing and venue policies can differ markedly from other regions, the prudent approach remains to await direct announcements from the artist or their official representatives before making assumptions about future performances.
