Jennifer Lopez cancels performance at World Cup in Brazil
If you were hoping to watch Jennifer Lopez perform in Thursday’s World Cup opening ceremony, you’re out of luck.
FIFA officials announced Sunday in a statement to the Associated
Press that Lopez has withdrawn from the festivities, and will not
perform the official song “We Are One” with rapper Pitbull and Brazilian
singer Claudia Leitte, as previously announced.
Soccer’s governing body blamed unspecified “production issues” for Lopez’s withdrawal from the opening ceremony.
