Ellen DeGeneres’ depreciating confidence might be the reason behind her recently canceled shows. Just a month after kickstarting Ellen’s Last Stand … Up tour, fans were shocked to discover that the talk show host abruptly canceled some dates. While DeGeneres has yet to address the scrapped events, sources close to her are giving an insight into the situation.
According to an insider, DeGeneres seems to be losing her touch with stand-up comedy. She is said to be “struggling to find her voice” while grappling with the fact that her beloved daytime show ended in 2022. The multi-city tour was supposed to explore DeGeneres’ expulsion from Hollywood following claims of toxicity. However, she hasn’t been able to candidly talk about her scandal in the new material.
“The bottom line is, Ellen just wasn’t comfortable with the idea of talking about that stuff night after night, and for the moment, Netflix is supporting her on this.”
The source further explained that DeGeneres’s instincts are “failing her,” making her unsure about what steps to take.
Fans Can’t Get Behind High Price Of Ellen DeGeneres’ Tickets
There is also reportedly the problem of the expensive ticket. “The other issue with the tour is that Ellen’s charging a lot for people to see her in pretty big venues,” the informant disclosed to InTouch Weekly. “But with prices for live entertainment right now exploding, you really have to bring your A-game if you want a massive sold-out tour.”
Earlier this week, fans received notifications from Ticketmaster that the show scheduled for Wednesday, July 10, had been canceled. No reason was given, but those who had already purchased tickets were promised a refund. Other canceled dates include Ellen’s San Francisco show on July 21, the July Seattle event, and the August 11 Chicago stop.
