Avril Lavigne scraps Asian tour including Manila stop due to COVID-19

Avril Lavigne just scraps her upcoming Asian tour — including her Manila date — due to the COVID-19 outbreak in the region.

Taking to social media, the American pop singer said she was "sad to announce that we are unable to tour the Asian markets due to the continuous outbreak of the coronavirus. My band, crew and I have been working so hard to bring this tour worldwide and are completely bummed out."

Avril was slated to do a 12-city Asian tour for her "Head Above Water" World Tour. She was scheduled to perform in Manila on May 20, 2020.

In her post, Avril said she is "hoping to announce rescheduled shows soon." — LA, GMA News
