Jessie J postpones arena tour Jessie J has postponed a sold-out 2013 arena tour for almost nine months so that she can concentrate on recording a new album. The British pop singer, who is a judge on the BBC's talent show The Voice, has pushed back 17 live dates to the end of 2013 because she needs "more time" to work on new songs. In a statement directed to fans who had bought tickets for the tour, she said: I am honestly truly sorry but I hope you all can understand that it's just because I would like to take more time to finish my new album. "I promise to make this tour my biggest and best ever and cannot wait for you all to hear my new songs," she added.
