In a post on Twitter/X , the singer explained her decision: ““The spiralling cost of putting these dates on, combined with poor ticket sales has forced me to reconsider the viability of continuing with the shows.
” “The short tour was always going to leave me with a considerable debt - in the thousands - which, as a solo musician, I expected and was prepared for by way of forecasting a small upward trajectory in shows and venue size next year, as a means to get some of that investment back over time.” Moss continued to reveal that ticket sales being “suppressed” and the amount she had invested into the short tour was no longer tenable for the self-financed solo musician. She also added “with alarming transportation costs added in, I am now forced to make the very difficult decision to cancel.
