Jennifer Lopez hailed cancelling her tour “the best thing she’d ever done”. The 55-yearold singer-and-actress pulled the plug on her ‘This Is Me...Live’ shows just weeks before they were due to begin in June and though she has apologised to fans, she doesn’t regret taking a break from work to spend quality time with her 16-year-old twins Max and Emme - who she has with ex-husband Marc Anthony - amid the breakdown of her marriage to Ben Affleck.

Speaking on Friday’s (08.11.24) episode of ‘The Graham Norton Show’, she said: “I took the summer off to be home with the kids, which is the best thing I have ever done. “It was not like me to do that, so I always want to apologise to the fans.” The ‘On the Floor’ hitmaker told how she’d had an emotional encounter with a fan the day before who told her she didn’t need to say sorry for the cancellation.

She said: “Actually, something very touching happened when I was coming out of the hotel yesterday. A fan came up to me and said, ‘I had tickets to come and see you.’ When I apologised, he said, ‘Don’t say sorry we love you.’ I started crying straight away.”
