Beyonce fans have been left heartbroken after the singer cancelled her upcoming show in Pittsburgh. The global superstar, who is due to kick off the US leg of her huge Renaissance world tour in just a couple of days, was forced to pull the show in Pittsburgh due to logistics and scheduling issues. The show was due to take place on 3 August but will now not go ahead, fans have been told they will receive a refund at the point of purchase. It comes soon after Queen Bey also had to postpone her show in Seattle, once again due to scheduling conflicts and production logistics. However, it's not all bad because those heading to the Seattle show will only have to wait an extra day to see the Crazy in Love hitmaker hit the stage. Those heading to Kansas City, however, will have to wait a little longer because that show has been moved from September 18 to October 1. Beyonce's US tour kicks off in Toronto on 8 July.

Speaking of touring, Taylor Swift has added more dates to the European leg of her Eras world tour and has subsequently ruled out an appearance at Glastonbury festival next year. Taking to social media, Taylor said she was added another date in Dublin, Ireland which will take place on the final weekend of June, ruling the Anti-Hero singer out as a potential headliner for the 2024 festival. Taylor also added more dates for shows in Liverpool, Edinburgh and London so fans now have a slightly better chance to see her take to the stage. The general sale of tickets for Taylor will start to be released in stages from 17 July.
