I was both surprised and not surprised, Michel said of the tepid sales for the now-canceled tour.
Last year, there were supposed to be 20 shows, and we did ten.
They were all sold out, but 10 extra shows needed to be done that she canceled.

Theres so much you have to coordinate in your life.
To go through that process for her to turn around and say, Oops, canceled.
Everyones frustration has been building up.
This is not something that just happened overnight.
My frustration was for the fans.
They are paying their hard-earned money to see you, Michel toldVulture.
This dynamic is a two-way street.
But this is not an indictment of her and her character.
All people are complaining about is lateness…
Were going on almost three decades of our existence, individually and as a group.
To have people still interested in wanting to come see you, man, you have to be grateful.
Artistically speaking, sometimes we say things because thats how we express ourselves.
This track is me speaking my truth.
When I was writing the record, those lines just came out.
