Despite regaining his major subscriber milestone, James Charles has chosen to cancel his SISTERS live tour in wake of his drama with YouTuber Tati Westbrook.“The SISTERS tour is not being cancelled because I was ‘cancelled’,” Charles explained. “…the main reason I’m deciding to pull the plug on the tour is because the next few weeks and the next few months, honestly, I said that I wanted to take time for myself and to be with the people who love me, and to focus on things that make me really happy.”
Despite the tour’s cancellation, Charles expressed an intense desire to create another live experience for his fans, claiming that the future tour would be “even more epic than before.”
