Some of her fans are very disappointed that Lena Meyer-Landrut canceled her summer tour because of the pandemic. But she stands by her decision.
The pop singer Lena Meyer-Landrut (31, “Better”) stands by the decision to cancel her summer tour.
“Once I’ve made a decision, I’m very clear about it. Even if the feeling sometimes arises, I always ask myself whether I actually want to be on tour at the moment, »she told the German Press Agency. “And then I can answer that relatively quickly and with a clear gut feeling.”
The 2010 ESC winner explained in a video two months ago that, given the ongoing corona pandemic, the time was not yet ripe for her to play in full halls. Some fans reacted angrily to this. “That’s okay too. I can’t expect understanding from everyone. There are many people, especially children, who have been looking forward to it for a very long time. All I can say is that I’m not doing this out of spite or to upset anyone.”
Meyer-Landrut released her new single “Looking For Love” this Friday. She is also currently celebrating a viral hit in Japan with her song “Life Was A Beach” from 2019. Users post videos on the TikTok platform in which they perform a specific choreography to the summer song with their hands.
“It’s crazy and a total parallel world. I can hardly believe it because it’s so far away and doesn’t feel like it is in our reality, »said the singer, who grew up in Hanover, about her unexpected success.
