Pop star's fans devastated as she cancels tour just 2 weeks after announcement
The Sweet but Psycho hitmaker recently announced that she would be bringing her Don't Click Play tour to the UK, North America and Europe in support of her forthcoming album of the same name, slated for release on August 22.
However, she has now devastated fans after scrapping the dates for her gigs – but emphasised it was because she felt it was not up to her standards.
Ava wrote to her 3.3million followers on Instagram overnight: 'Pushing back my tour is [the] most difficult decision I've had to make, but when I perform for you, it has to be of a standard that I'm happy with, and it's just not there yet.'
'Being on stage is my favourite thing in the world. In order to put on a show that you all deserve, I need more time,' the 31-year-old singer continued.
'I promise you all it will be worth the wait. I love you all and can't wait to see you. SOON, I PROMISE.'
'Why is the tour cancelled???? I'm really disappointed!!!!!' fan Jakub commented on a recent post ahead of Ava's story, while @kimmyangel88 responded: 'That's such a shame. Was really looking forward to seeing her.'
Fan Saul Arvizu wrote: 'Would be cool if you had a post or reel about the tour cancellation. Like, we get a cancellation but don't let us hear it from Ticketmaster. Your fans bought your tickets. And letting us find out this way is not cool.'
Posters promoting the tour and its dates have been wiped from Ava's account while Ticketmaster's website now shows the dates as being cancelled.
'You need more time for a better performance ? I'm sorry but this is a bit [of] a strange excuse!!' chimed in Urs Kumli.
'So saddened by the news :(💔 I was gonna spend my 25th birthday with you in Belgium,' replied Bryan Moertabat.

The star, who also had a hit with single Kings & Queens, previously explained that she often feels 'more comfortable' being on the road touring but always has to make some time for herself before taking to the stage.
Ava told The Kelly Clarkson Show: 'I did all kinds of shows in the US and it was so cool just doing night after night. It is weird. In the pandemic, I was stuck at home and I was like, 'How am I going to connect?'
She added: 'I always have Ava time carved out on my schedule right before I perform. So everyone is putting my wires on, my mic pack and everything and then I have 15 minutes to myself where I meditate and close my eyes so I can remember my name and what I'm singing.
'I really thrive through the chaos, I love it, so I'm actually more comfortable on tour [than at home] lately – but I still need my Ava time carved in.'

Special meaning behind Kelly Osbourne's stunning custom engagement ring
The beautiful ring has a very special meaning meaning with a nod to Kelly's late friend Joan Rivers - but it also has a very sweet meaning that makes it all the more personal to her Kelly Osbourne has got engaged to partner Sid Wilson after Ozzy Osbourne's final gig with Black Sabbath and her ring has a very special meaning personal to her. On Saturday, Ozzy officially ended his Prince of Darkness reign as he appeared on stage for one final time. The rock icon, 76, joined his Black Sabbath bandmates at Villa Park, Birmingham in one of the most epic farewell shows in music history. After the incredible show, the Osbourne family were treated to a beautiful surprise backstage as Kelly's longtime partner Sid got down on one knee and popped the question. Taking to Instagram to share the joyful news, Kelly, 40, posted the sweet video of Sid's proposal as he asked to spend the rest of his life with the former reality TV star. Alongside the video, Kelly wrote: "Oh, and this happened yesterday." In the heartwarming clip, Sharon is heard saying: "We've got to be quiet, hold on," as she shushed the crew backstage at show. Kelly's now fiancé is then heard saying: "Kelly, you know I love you more than anything in the world. However, Sid's romantic proposal was swiftly interrupted by a playful Ozzy who shouted: "F*** off! You're not marrying my daughter." Clearly familiar with Ozzy's banter, Sid laughs and continues asking Kelly the all-important question. He continues: "Nothing would make me happier than spending the rest of my life with you. So, in front of your family and all of our friends, Kelly, will you marry me?". Kelly then turns around with a look of shock on her face before holding her hands up to her face and nodding 'yes'. MailOnline has now revealed how the beautiful meaning behind the ring and how it paid tribute to his partner's late friend Joan Rivers who died in 2014 aged 81. Sid reportedly wanted the ring to nod to a nickname both he and the Joan had for Kelly. He said: "So I have a nickname for Kelly, and it's "Honeybee" and coincidentally a friend of hers, Joan Rivers used to call her this. It was a nickname [Joan] had for her. I didn't know this, it's like an amazing coincidence, it's like whoa, like meant to be." Kelly had landed the sweet nickname due to her always 'buzzing around' and 'spreading good energy' so wanted the ring to be inspired by bees and pollen. The ring's design features a unique beehive inspired structure making it all the more sentimental. The MailOnline reports that it is a 18K yellow gold ring with both white and yellow diamonds, as well as citrine accents, and the centre piece is a stunning 2.5 carat round brilliant-cut diamond, symbolising the multifaceted nature of love.

Our Place founder warns supermarket dupes will 'cause businesses to fail'
Our Place co-founder and co-chief executive Shiza Shahid said the brand was growing rapidly in the UK despite dupes appearing on the market. Ms Shahid launched the Los Angeles-based business with her husband in 2019, with Will Smith's Dreamers VC, Jay-Z's Marcy Venture Partners, and Gwyneth Paltrow among its early investors. It specialises in kitchenware including pans designed to be non-toxic and non-stick, and collections created in complementary colours and aesthetics. Widely-shared posts on social media, especially Instagram, have helped drive popularity of the brand in recent years – including a collaboration with actress and singer Selena Gomez. Similar versions of bestselling products – namely the 'Always Pan' which currently sells for £125 – have recently launched in supermarkets including Aldi and Marks & Spencer with a lower price tag. Ms Shahid told the PA news agency: 'Unfortunately I think it is incredibly harmful. 'When we started Our Place, my partner and I bootstrapped our savings and worked on the design for two years before we ever sold a single unit. 'And when multi-million dollar corporations come and they knock it off, with no regard for innovation, IP, small business, they are causing tremendous harm and it will cause a lot of businesses to fail, and it will destroy innovation.' She said such companies are 'very skilled in the art of duplicity' which makes it difficult and costly for smaller brands to legally challenge. But the businesswoman told PA that they were 'not able to guarantee that same level of detail and quality' with replica products. 'So we trust that, while not every consumer will see the difference, many will and many do,' she said, adding that shoppers often want to 'support brands that they believe in'. A spokesman for Aldi said: 'For over 35 years we have championed customers by offering high quality exclusive products at the lowest possible prices. 'We go to great lengths to ensure that all our exclusive brand products are compliant with strict copyright laws and regulations.' M&S has been contacted for comment. Ms Shahid, who also co-founded the Malala Fund with Nobel Prize winner and campaigner Malala Yousafzai, said Our Place products are typically viewed as an 'accessible luxury'. 'Despite some of the cost-of-living challenges, people are investing in the home and kitchen,' she told PA. 'The first thing you do is maybe you go out a little bit less, but then you still want the joy and the nourishment and the connection, and home cooking is a really great way to do that. 'It feels like an everyday luxury… people are choosing products that will last, that will bring joy, and that will actually help them save money over time.' Sales across the brand spiked by 92% over the first quarter of 2025 compared with the same period last year, and it has built more than a million active customers. It is also set to launch a shop-in-shop space within London department store Selfridges amid efforts to expand into retailers and take on established competitors such as Le Creuset. Ms Shahid said Our Place has 'a lot of younger consumers but we also have a lot of men and women in their 60s', while many of its products – including the countertop 'wonder oven' – appeal to single-person households and small families.
