Rihanna may not be laying the hate on Chris Brown in her emotional interviews, but they certainly aren’t helping him sell tickets. The New York Daily News reports that sales have been sluggish for his upcoming “Fan Appreciation” tour, with neither his opening Houston or closing New York gigs approaching sell-out status.
The paper’s music industry source explains the obvious: “Chris lost a lot of fans after he assaulted Rihanna. And after that whole scandal, he’s not exactly kid-friendly. What parent would buy their children tickets to his concert?” While his “I Can Transform Ya” single is in the top 30, the recent reminders of his crimes may keep people from wanting to cheer in person.
