I am really sorry if you feel disappointed, but I have to honor my truth as an artist: touring is really emotionally and physically hard for me,\u201d she wrote.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\t\u201cI am not looking for sympathy and I have a huge amount of respect for artists who can handle it at an intense, lengthy and high-octane level, but I am just not one of those human beings and I never have been,\u201d she continued, noting she had opted for a shorter run on her current North American tour for the same reasons. <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\t\u201cI\u2019m sorry if you feel I am letting you down; I really am. Perhaps one day I will be built for the kind of touring you expect from me, but right now I am not.\u201d She added that she hoped both fans and herself would enjoy the shows, saying she would \u201ctry my best to stay in a healthy and positive mindset.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tThe tour supports Music, Fashion, Film, Charli\u2019s seventh studio album, released July 24 as the follow-up to her <a href=\"https:\/\/www.billboard.com\/music\/pop\/charli-xcx-2024-international-brat-tour-dates-1235641253\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">culture-dominating 2024 record Brat. <\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tThe album marked another sharp turn for the Essex-raised artist, leaning into darker, grittier rock sounds, and debuted at No. 1 on the Official U.K. Albums Chart \u2014 her fourth U.K. chart-topper, and one that made her the first British female artist to score two new No. 1 albums in the same calendar year. <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tIn the U.S., the album opened at No. 3 on the Billboard 200 and gave Charli her first No. 1 on Billboard\u2019s Top Album Sales chart. The UK and European run follows a landmark summer that included her first headline set at Reading Festival, and precedes the North American leg of the tour, which commenced on Friday (Sept. 11) in Philadelphia. <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tThe 12-date arena trek includes stops in New York, Toronto, Boston, Atlanta and Los Angeles before wrapping in Las Vegas on Oct. 23.
