Bad news, Iggy Azalea fans: the Aussie rap sensation had been planning a North American tour for the spring, but now she's delayed the entire trek until the fall.
Previously, the tour had been booked for April and May. Now, it's been pushed back to September and October.
Most of the shows have been rescheduled, although not all of them; the new itinerary consists of 21 concerts rather than the original 24, so some cities have been neglected. Luckily for Canadian fans, Toronto now has a new date, as May 3 has been pushed back to October 8.
A statement from Def Jam chalks up the postponement to "production delays." Some rumours have suggested that the planned tour was hampered by poor promotion and conflicts between Iggy and her team, but a rep for the rapper told Billboard that "there's no truth to the rumour that there's any conflict between her and her management."
A tweet from Iggy's official account promised that the delay would mean a better show:

Iggz HQ: The tour getting pushed back only means that it'll be way more amazing than it would've been in April. Good things take time.
