It is with the greatest of regret that Natasha Bedingfield has had to cancel her forthcoming UK tour. This is through no fault of Natasha herself, but due to her US Label insisting that she remains in US until further notice to promote the release of her album, Pocketful of Sunshine there. All tickets for the UK tour will be reimbursed. Please contact your ticket vendor for further details.
Natasha is very disappointed to be missing the opportunity to perform live in the UK, and has insisted that she make a short trip to the UK in the Spring for a number of intimate free acoustic gigs. More info will follow on this from Natasha herself direct. Submit this page to... DeliciousDiggTechnorati
wrote... If you hadn't have cancelled it, we would be going on friday wiv all of our mates and it was our main birthday present so it is so unfair that you cancelled it. We swapped our tickets for a high school musical one which will be so much better!
wrote... Gutted about this bought tickets last July for September date and it was pushed back until March, no explanation why. Now i find out t has been canceled because she needs to work within the USA. Gutted but not surprised, I had a feeling it was not going to happen.
wrote... just found out seetickets - (who I booked pre sale with via this website. ) Keep £6.05 of the total cost when refunding, for postage and booking fee. Cost me £4.30 to post them back to them as well. Thanks for that!!
wrote... we are appaled! how could you, you heffelump! letiing down your fans who were here first! we are 13 years old and twins - it was our birthday present. you've ruined our dream of seeing our idol(well, before this happened) on stage. you've let us down twice now. how could you! jess still likes you! sophie does too but, you need to make it up to your original fans back here. the least you could do is send some signed photos or albums. our love always (not) jess and sophie your greatest fans!
wrote... I'm sure you relaise by now how disappointed we are by now about the tickets and i'm not going to say anything about that. What I was going to ask is about the albums, I love your new singles from the american album but was disappointed to hear not only that it was only on an album in America but that for me to get it I had to buy the album with songs on from NB which I already have, I was wondering does this also mean American fans are missing out too. You are still one of my favourite artists and I am happy for your success in America, all I'm hoping is that you don't forget about us back home and that we will to see you soon wothout any problems!
wrote... I am absolutely gutted about this the liverpool gig was the day after my birthday and was really looking forward to it. i love your music to pieces and i saw you last time you was in liverpool. I am not gunna be as mad as some people on here, but thanks for ruining my sixteenth birthday. i hope you will be able to repay me in the near future by reschedualing a gig in liverpool, after all its the capital of culture and im sure a lot of people would love a chance to play here this year. Please keep us updated about the future tours, maybe this time you will stick to your promises and pick your heart over your head, instead of thinking about the money in 'the album you are promoting in america'. Hope to see you soon, from a very dedicated fan.
wrote... This is now a complete mess and completely beyond a joke. To be told less than 1 month before the gig that the show is cancelled because you have to promote your album in the US is just astonishing. If this really is beyond your control (somehow I doubt it), then you should sack your management team - how on earth could this happen....twice??? I BOOKED TICKETS AND SCHEDULED A HOLIDAY AROUND THIS GIG FOR MY WIFE'S BIRTHDAY.......CHEER S NATASHA - HOPE YOU ENJOY IT, THE US DESERVE YOU. AS A MARK OF RESPECT TO ME, I WILL NO LONGER BUY YOUR RECORDS AND HAVE JUST BINNED YOUR PAST ALBUMS. REGRETTABLY YOUR MANNERS ARE WORSE THAN YOUR TALENT.
wrote... this was my 15th birthday present when it was canelled the first time i wasn't 2 bothered because it gave me more time to chose who to take but then the second time it was just rediculous and now it's cancelled all together i am actully furious it is ridiculous my mum spent ages trying to sort out tickets without me knowing and now i can't even go. thanx alot!
wrote... I got tickets for the UK tour for my daughter to see Natasha in leicester at a small venue. When she cancelled last year she was extremly dissapointed but was OK with it as a new date was given in March 08. Now we hear she is cancelling with no new date for leicester given. The venue in Leicester seats 2000 and is excellent unlike these new venues where it more about money than fans. No doubt she will reschedule but go to O2, Wembley where the money is. I cannot see another Leicester date in the pipeline. All I can say is shame on you Natasha!
wrote... RIDICULOUS!! CANCELLED FOR THE 2ND TIME???!!! I really thought you weren't like all those other ''ARTISTS'' out there but guess i was wrong oh and thanks for apologizing to your fans in IRELAND!!!!!GRRRRRR
wrote... ah well i think it got cancelled because when i went to get a refund they refused because they hadn't sold out, it's all a money making thing unfortuantely, as shown by Natasha, yes it may have been the record company's decision but Natasha could have voiced her opinion!! and as for the free gigs, like that'll ever happen. It's clear she's lost a fair few fans over this, but then again did she really have that many in the first place?
don't come back if America is far more important? how come your album couldn't be postponed?!!
i'm glad to get my money back, she's not that brilliant anyway!! Always got Sugababes & Avril Lavigne to look forward to!!
wrote... i am totally disgusted and fuming that you have now cancelled a 2ND time,u should really remember how you got where you are now,and if it wasnt for your fans in the uk then you wouldnt be where u are now!!
wrote... I am so unbelievably annoyed. I am the same as everybody else purchased half a dozen tickets to go with a group of friends for December gig at Sheffield. This was cancelled, re-scheduled to march, now this is cancelled. I think it is totally unfair on Natasha's English fans it appears that all of the money we have spent on her songs and merchandise to support her career are no longer important now she has 'hit it big' in the US. I would like to say where does she think she would be had we not helped her success, I dont think she would be living the life she is right now. I am a massive fan of her brother, i have been to see him 3 times now and not once has he ever cancelled and he has put on a fantastic show for his adoring fans. I think she should maybe take a leaf out of his book and also realise that America is a tactile market in one minute out the next, where will she be if her success takes a nose dive!!! I think some of her English fans may well doubt continuing her succes
wrote... I bought my tickets back in April 07 for what was supposed to be a gig in September. That was shifted to March 08 and now it is cancelled!!!
I'm sorry but it's nothing more that an up yours to your UK fans. I think it's a P**S take.
I wont be buying any more CD's if this is how you treat us. I'll try and get as much money back as I can by selling the ones I already have on Ebay (If anyone will buy them after this farce).
wrote... Actually if it were the other way around I would have said the same thing except I'd be more sure of myself cause I would know, first hand, the real deal. It's like during football season where everyone gives up on the Eagles but as soon as they win a few games, "I knew they could do it!" There are fair wheather fans over here too and I would have the same thing to say to them. Because of my schedule I don't have tons of time to go see a concert. I'll probably buy Natasha's CD and NOT go to the concert (if there is one).
I still think that it sucks that this happened. There's this R&B singer, Shoshana Bean, and she's one of my favorite singers (as is Natasha). If she were to cancel her future tour(s) for her later fans across I'd be upset but I wouldn't give up on her. She'll still make great music and she has to come back sometime!
wrote... after finding out the tour is cancelled i am shocked, disgusted and have lost soo much respect for you and your music. i wasnt the biggest of fans, but i thought you were good and had talent. however, what is talent withough manners and respect for your fans?? if you need to promote yourself in the US then do it, but what abotu ur origonal fans here in the UK?? you colud have atleast posted a letter. i know other artists do, even if theyre just ill. promoting youself in the US is just an auwfull excuse, and your making you 3rd album, surely you have some controll over youself as an artist and if not then as a person? i dotn believe the record label has pressured you.
anyway, what done is done. but my opinion of you ha definatley changed.
wrote... The thing is... its not even a personal letter from Natasha, i feel very used!!!
all her big fans in the uk, and she buggers off to the usa.. the least she can do is write a small letter apologising and what happened which will take her 10 minutes, or does she not care anymore..
she is the same as us.. human. just coz shes famous dot mean she shudnt have manners!
fair enough if it was 1st time, but people have been waiting like 4 months for this and its cancelled again. i was so looking forward to it..
wrote... heya natasha i'm really sorry you can't do your tour now. it's a shame i was really looking foward to it. Nevermind though i'm sure that when you do your gigs they will be great. i'm sorry i won't be at any of them, the show in birmingham was the only time i cud come. I'm a bit hurt about it but i understand and i know what it feels like to have other people control your days and i feel for you.
i want you to know that i will always be a big fan and i am sorry that you are unable to make it to your tour

wrote... Bit of a disappointment, the last concert was great. A few free concerts, don't feel like battling the crowds. At least I'll have the money back. Hope the states works out, and you dont erode your fan base, like all the others. C u on strictly in a few years
wrote... As a Huge Natasha bedingfield fan I'm really really upset and annoyed that the tour dates were canclled. Like a lot of other fans I bought tickets for last September and now to hear that none of the shows are going ahead is a mockery. I'm from Dublin and after the first gig was cancelled , then rescheduled myself and my friends thought it woud then be a safe bet to go to the gig in Manchester because (people have a habit of calling off gigs in Ireland) to see her. Now all we are left with are 4 void tickets, hotel and flights fees and a lot of upset and annoyed people. I hope that these private gigs etc manage to find their way to Ireland or to us as an apology, it's the least she/record company can do. Natasha you're a wonderful woman with a great voice so for the sake of all your UK and Ireland fans TELL your record company that thhis is where you started as I'm sure you know, people aren't that fickle as to made fools of over here.
wrote... I think this really sucks... I got the tickets for my birthday. I drove 40 miles for nothing cos nobody told us it was postponed, and now it's cancelled altogether. I don't understand how the USA company can make a decision about a previous commitment. Basically it boils down to one thing...MONEY :(
wrote... I really love her and her Music, not so botherd about David to be honest hehe, I like Natasha best, but yes I would probably go, but it's the Cancellations... but yes if she makes a Tour and promises to keep it Open, i'll go :( but alot of people have spent alot of money to see Natasha... and its very very sad... She wont lose her UK Fan's but I think she needs to do alot more than Free Gigs :(
wrote... Oh, now it’s just waaaaay too much. Common guys! It’s sound like you all want to go in war with Natasha – except from you who actually STILL love and support Nat, which I’m really thanks full for, cause it’s what she need AND deserves!!!, so thank you, and I’m glad that we can be strong together and show Natasha that she still have someone who she actually know is her REAL FANS, who always will be there for her!!!
Oh, and Mapoo, hey. I can tell you, Daniel Bedingfield, yes, he went off to USA, but I’ve read, that he actually working on a new album right now, so if you're a big fan, maybe there soon is something new from him, we hopes so…..
Look, I totally understand how sad and hurt you all feel, and how really disappointed you all are. I feel the same way too, but do you really, and I mean REALLY want to let Natasha down and don’t want to be a fan of her anymore?......
wrote... CANCELLED, I am well peed off, was goin in September it got changes to March 2008... now Cancelled due to the US... well what can I say "Us British are probably not Worth it now"... I remember her Brother he went off to US and we never heard after... wheres he now? God knows EXACTLY... this is what Natasha will be like... :( sad i love her and im a big Fan... but now i wont be bookin anymore of her Concerts... once let down is fine, twice is a Mess up.... :( Oh well I got KYLIE to look forward to :)) she's better :)
wrote... Once, fair play, but twice - not a nice feeling!! Gutted was looking forward to the seeing you in Leicester again, but let's hope the Sugababes have a bit more about them and keep their date with us fee paying fans.
wrote... Cancelled? I have been looking foreward to this concert for eight months. EIGHT MONTHS. Has she forgotten that SHE is brittish? And she has to stay in the US? Ridiculous. She obviously just uses her UK fans to get her ahead, then dumps us as and when she feels like it. Unbelievable.
wrote... my mum bought 5 tickets for my friends and i as a birthday present for last september. it was canceled and rescheduled for february, the february concert was canceled because she had something better to do.(an album which i won't buy out of principle)THANKS **********!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!?? ??????????????????
wrote... I bought 2 tickets as Xmas presents for my 13 and 10 year old nieces. Obviously they are very disappointed now. Just skimming over this website, she has got time to go skiing, shopping, stalk celebrities such as Tom Cruise, Kevin Costner, Justin Timberlake etc but she hasn't got time to type one single personal line of apology to her UK fans for the tour cancellation ? Basically I see this as a huge ' Up yours' to her UK fans.
wrote... Caity you seem to change your mind in every post you have made here. Before she went to the U.S.A Natasha told us fans who were on her orginal website and forum she would never forget us. First time round the tour was postponed due to U.S commitments. Now SHE cancels the tour all together due to U.S commitments. To me that says SHE has forgetten the people who made her. I say She as im sure the record company wouldnt dump her if she said no I want to do the tour not Promo work. Oh and Caity its fine for you to call us Fair Weather fans as SHE isnt snubbing you for later fans is she?
wrote... What does not make sense to me in discovering that once again the uk tour is cancelled is that surely the reasons given ie usa commitments etc MUST have been known when tour was rescheduled so why wasnt the tour prevented from being rescheduled months ago?? why at last minute. ie her US label MUST have known ages ago!!
wrote... I saw Natasha perform at CES in Las Vegas. She was great. Her music is very personal and really hit home for me. I was probably the only nerd sitting in the crowd that was crying. She was humble, genuine and I bet if you meet her somewhere she's just as "real." Don't give up on her, remember that just like employees and soldiers, sometimes you can't always do what you want to - and even when you do, you have to sacrifice it all. I do hope she gets to have her UK performances, there's nothing that compares to coming home.
wrote... Lol! I spoke too soon. I went to amazon.com and compared the UK version of the CD and the US version and I learned a few things.
1. The CDs share about 6 songs then all the rest are different. 2. The UK version has 1-2 more tracks 3. The titles are different 4. According to one of the reviewers "NB" didn't do too well in the UK so I guess that's the reason the CDs only share about 6 songs in common. (and "Love Like This" peaked at #11 and now it's at #12 on the charts) That sucks. I still want to hear the other songs, though.
And I'm sorry if I sounded insensitive in prior posts. I know you're upset but this truly isn't a reason to give up on her. I guess if "Love Like This" was doing better she'd still be on tour in the UK and not focusing her efforts here. But on a lighter note, who's going to the free concerts?
wrote... Woah...they cancelled twice? The first time was with the first CD? See, If they had just let the CDs out around the same time and made a UK/US tour, one right after the other or a few months apart...
*sigh*
But still. It is what it is. The fact of the matter is everyone who wants world wide success in this field comes to the US. Should they do it at the expence of their home fans? No. So far this is the only case I've heard of (even though it's probably not the only case ever) where the artist and the label did this. But w/e. Get a refund and don't be fair weather fans.
wrote... You bunch of fair weather fans you! I bet as soon as she reschedules you'll be like, "Oh Natasha, I knew you would never let us down! You're my favorite singer ever!! You so wicked awesome and talented!" Pfft! Sucks to you fair weather fans! Please stop being bratty. You got the CD A YEAR IN ADVANCE!! PLUS TRACKS THAT DON'T APPEAR ON THE US VERSION!!!! (if you want to feel special)
If I bought a ticket I'd be upset and push for a refund, of course. But don't give up on the artist. That's just stupid.
wrote... NIC13 I agree! Natasha u hav just lost a few fans, def this one that's for sure! I bought me & my cousin the tickets for her bday - complete let down for her! Now we have to go to the hastle of sending the tickets back for refund. I can honestly say I will never spend another penny on anything by someone who cares more about money. I love music, it's supposed to be all about the music - stuff the promoting!
wrote... Its a lonely place at the top -especially if you trod on your fans on the way up!!!!You may find yourself coming back down to earth, Natasha, with a bump due to lack of support!! One cancellation is fair comment but two says I care more about the money than the people who spend it putting me there!!! I will wait and see if I get an invite to one of the free acoustic sessions-maybe then I'll be back on here with a personal apology to you!
wrote... Peaches with all kindness how are we hypocrits? I seem to remember Natasha saying to the members of her old forum that she would never forget about us before going off to America. To me this news means she has. Thats my view and im sorry but I aint buying anything more from Nat. Now to spend more money in returning my ticket!
wrote... I cannot believe this. The first time it was cancelled i was bit upset but was happy to still go. But now I have been looking forward to it again, and to be honest i feel let down. How could her record company do that to her uk fans!? I agree with Ellen, this is ridiculous!!
wrote... I´m agree with MeHolly&NB... Come on peole. It´s not her fault. I bet she is disappointed too but what can we do now unless to give support to her and wish all the best in her life, in her carrer. LOVE YOU, NATASHA HERE IN BRAZIL I can´t stop to watch your videos all the time i hope you are ok i can´t explain how much you mean to me take care and come here asap, PLEASEEEE I will be ALWAYS here!!!
wrote... just thought i would add on before people come flaming me. Im annoyed as I booked the day of work in Septemeber when I didnt need to and done the same thing for march. I was also going to go see Rihanna's gig in Liverpool which was two days after Nats so I couldnt do that. Now I cant get tickets for an American artist who RESPECTS HER U.K FANS. Once again Nat stay in America.
wrote... You know what Natasha STAY IN AMERICA!!!!! I used to be a huge fan but now you can go jump. Stay in America you and your record companies seem to think there more important then us fans who helped launch your career.
wrote... I dont for a minute pretend to know the inner workings of a record label but what would they have done had Natasha refused to cancel again on principal - dropped her from the label? I dont think so. Clearly shes doing so well over there that they want to maximise on that but im sorry this shouldnt be at the expense of a previously rescheduled tour with her homegrown fans. I am really disappointed and will seriously rethink getting tickets for the next tour, if there is one! I understand its not Natasha fault personally, but come on, youre not telling me the power of the artist herself is so low that she couldnt have sorted something out, its the label calling the shots based on revenue and she wouldnt be where she is without the fans so i think this is out of order.
