I really love Louis, but I'm having a hard time digesting this tweet right now. It just honestly doesn't sound sincere, like at all. I'm sure he genuinely feels bad, but this tweet wasn't it. And the people on Twitter going absolutely gaga over it just because he 'moved' is making it worse for me. This is not even the bare minimum of what the fans from the cancelled shows deserved.
I agree, I’m surprised myself. I didn’t expect huge details of the reasons (especially if it was just about budget).
But this is the same man who would type up something on his notes app and share his x-rays to explain why he had to reschedule three album signings.
This is an entirely different scale, so yeah, it was little - at least in comparison to how dealt with these things in the past.

Do you think it could be some kind of conflict with livenation? That seems to be the only common denominator across all Asian dates.
Lol no. They’re the promoters who organize the whole tour, they’re the same as Ticketmaster basically.
If they canceled the whole Asian leg and some US dates are in jeopardy of being canceled too, it’s because of low sales.
For Asia, he might have had some dates sold out, or close to. However, we don’t actually know if the shows were truly sold out. Ticketmaster/Livenation don’t put out 100% of tickets at once. So it may look like it only has for example 30 tickets left, but really it could have WAY more that they’re holding back to artificially inflate sales and pressure more people to buy. Then they drop some “last minute” tickets as if they just found them in the bottom of the box, when in reality it’s a sales tactic.
So even if 3 out of 7 were sold out, it’s not financially worth it to go because the tour leg itself is quite small, and even canceling just the shows that didn’t sell wouldn’t help, because going all the way to Asia just for 3 shows would lose them too much money. So the only thing to do would be cancel the whole leg and take that financial hit, and hope insurance covers most of it.
It was too late to downsize the venues and secure those dates so last minute so they didn’t have a choice.
For the US, if the rumors are true, they can potentially only cancel a few dates but tour the rest because the tour is much bigger, so it would still be financially wise to do it. Also, the US touring market generates A LOT more revenue than other countries, so hopefully the numbers are still good enough to make the tour happen here.
For Asia, hopefully they can reschedule for the end of tour at smaller venues, fingers crossed, tho I’m not sure.
The sad truth is that money determines these things. So I’m sure Louis is just as frustrated, sad, heartbroken and angry that he can’t tour Asia, and might have to cancel more of the US leg. Touring is his favorite thing to do, he must be so fucking sad.

Louies' 2023 Wrapped Tag Game
(Rules: Answer the questions below and tag at least 3 people!)
Thank you bestie @berlinini for tagging me 🤍 sorry i’m so late on this, work’s been kicking my ass, here we go though!
favorite walls song: this year; don’t let it break your heart
favorite fitf song: impossible to pick just one but right now; holding on to heartache (which is funny considering my fav off of Walls this year)
most played song on Spotify by Louis: Written All Over Your Face (ok whore)
favorite louis lyrics: that’s actually an impossible task because there’s WAY too many! but “there’s endless versions of the thing that keeps me drifting back to darkness” hits home in a way that i can’t explain in words
louis life lesson: it always remains the same; picking yourself back up after facing hardships, seeing the possibilities and positives in a difficult situation; basically strength & resilience
favorite louis outfit: oh that’s unfair, my little fashionista kills it 99% of the time so i have a list of favorite 50 outfits from 2023 but for the purpose of this game we’ll narrow it down to three (and it’s not even top three just three that i loved)
favorite tour show: there were so many good ones this year (Phoenix, Austin, Houston, LA, Philly, New York, Bologna, Paris, Antwerp, Vienna, Łódź, Sheffield, Cardiff, London) but the way that I felt physically ill after fitfwt: Columbus might need to be studied for science; the whiplash from the stark difference of him during the show and him post show was entirely TOO MUCH
favorite public appearance: has to be the RS Awards; the slutty custom-made fit, the main character energy throughout, the confidence, the glow, the ever present eloquence with which he spoke about his work and his successful af year, just him him him <3
favorite AOTV scene: once again there’s so many; that scene where louis’ recording Saturdays and we get some insight into his thinking and his process, the montage of louis with band and crew having an absolute blast while All This Time plays in the background, that one scene where JD is helping him put his hoodie on after he broke his elbow 👀 the last few minutes of the movie where we hear him say the words “i do feel like i deserve this” 🫶🏽🥹 and so so many more actually
favorite band or crew member: favorite three :p are Krystle, Steve & Joshua! special shout out to Joshua for going above and beyond this year honestly! that man carried lthq on his back!
favorite picture: another unfair question but i won’t cheat and post one of my absolute most favorites from this year because it’s like the energy of his shows captured in one moment (i found out on twitter that the hand in his hair belongs to a desi louie which was like the cherry on top)
something that you are looking forward to in 2024: the fitfwt latam shows!!! there is nothing else like the energy the latam crowds bring, which in turn brings out the absolute best (and most unhinged) in louis and his band too, so definitely looking forward to that! and the festivals!!! can’t wait to see him shine in front of the world <3 hope against hope to be a part of it if things work out 🤞🏽🕯️
one wish for Louis (or Louies) for 2024: 🍑🐧🎧 sighting! kidding (not really)! honestly though, growth
growth in this fandom’s level of maturity (with the addition of lots more people who are here for louis’ art and not his personal life), growth in the markets he’s able to capture, growth in the places he’s able and willing to tour *cough*ASIA*cough*, growth in the ability of his teams especially his social media and PR teams, growth from Louis himself in regards to him being open to trying new things
i don’t know who all has done this! but i’ll tag some people just in case (no pressure) @noraincsl @timidlouie @poekitty2020 @stormyhale @louveyous
