- Charli XCX canceled her Glendale, Arizona stop at Desert Diamond Arena, originally scheduled for Wednesday, after announcing via social media that she has 'completely lost my voice' from fighting sickness through the tour run.
- Charli XCX's team attempted to reschedule the show but was 'ultimately unable' to find a new date, with the singer telling fans refunds will process automatically via Ticketmaster or at the original point of purchase.
- Charli XCX is resting ahead of the tour's final North American date, Friday at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, and promised to return to Arizona in the future.
- Chappell Roan made a surprise guest appearance at Charli's LA show over the weekend for a duet of 'Boom Clap' — the first time the 2014 breakthrough single was performed live during the Brat/Music, Fashion, Film run.
- PinkPantheress also joined Charli at the Kia Forum, performing her own track 'Stateside' for the crowd during the back-to-back LA shows.
- Charli XCX expressed deep disappointment to fans directly, writing: 'it breaks me that i can't be with you tomorrow,' and acknowledged the time and planning fans put into attending her shows.
Why it matters: The cancellation removes the only Arizona date on the North American leg for ticketed fans who traveled to Glendale, and the tour now ends Friday in Las Vegas without a makeup show. Charli's voice loss also cuts short a run that was generating marquee collaborations, including the first live 'Boom Clap' performance of the tour cycle with Chappell Roan.
