Leona Lewis Cancels Book Tour!

Filed under: Leona Lewis

Poor thing!

In the aftermath of the cowardly attack she faced at her book signing, Leona Lewis has pulled out of any further appearances to promote her autobiography Dreams.

According to her spokesman, "Leona was due to go to Germany today for promo but that has now been cancelled. Leona is obviously shocked after yesterday but is OK."

The songstress was set to fly out for a day-long promotional tour, but she is understandably feeling like it's too soon to face the public.

Fortunately, Leona is still set to begin rehearsals next week for her first mayjah UK show!!!

Stay strong, bb!

      Oh, no! What will we do now?!



    2. 2

      What a shame! I would never want to be famous just for that - people with fixations who lash out! Horrible!



    3. 3

      i hate when you say "mayjah". it makes me feel sick.



    4. 4

      Can't blame her! Too many crazies in the world.



    5. 5

      Poor girl. Hire a bodyguard and keep your chin up. I guess that would make me skittish too.



    6. 6

      maybe i'm being tough but that's pathetic….she has fans and because of one idiot she's pulling out…..

      "The songstress was set to fly out for a day-long promotional tour, but she is understandably feeling like it's too soon to face the public." —-WTF?!?!? it's not like some krazie sex tape made onto the scene……that comment/excuse makes absolutely no sense……..

      So i guess that crappy bleeding love song really did drive someone crazy. See radio. Stop playing that song, or this happens. Sad.



    8. 8

      …get back on the horse Leona and I'm not referring to Heroin. Don't let some ahole prevent you from promoting your book. Maybe punch the first person in line at every signing from here on in as a publicity stunt.

      …RIP. Al Martino, a crooner who had several pop hits spanning more than 20 years and played Johnny Fontane in the 1970s "Godfather" movies, died Tuesday at his childhood home in Springfield, Pa, 15 minutes from me! He was 82.

      That's sad, she's one of the sweetest celebrities out there, and she looks kind of traumatized in that picture. Btw, to everyone bashing Perez in the Rush Limbaugh post: Why do you come to his website everyday?

      "Stuart Bell said Lewis, 24, had been meeting members of the public at Waterstone's book store in Piccadilly in central London for about 90 minutes when a man from the line came up and hit her. He was immediately led away by security guards and later arrested by police."



    12. 12

      …does anyone know if the guy who punched her at least bought a copy of her book first? Cheapskate.



    13. 13

      How is punching someone cowardly? Perez has said a lot of things with which I didn't agree, but whoever is writing for this site now is simply an idiot.

      Michael Jackson's mother, Katherine, on Wednesday denied a magazine report that his three children will appear in a TV reality series, saying the pop star would not have wanted them to be in the public eye.



    15. 15

      By the way, is she going to crawl under a rock and never interact with anyone again?



    16. 16

      A new Janet Jackson greatest hits album titled "Number Ones" is due out Nov. 17 in the U.S. on A&M/UMe. Outside of America, it will be titled "Janet Jackson: The Best," and street on Nov. 23. The 34 track collection includes 33 of Jackson's hits plus one new track titled "Make Me," produced by Jackson and Rodney Jerkins.



    17. 17

      aaah. poor thing. that would shake anyone. but i would continue on.



    18. 18

      Re: RobPnMeShouldB – …I agree with you.



    19. 19

      What a wussy!



    20. 20

      i like Leona i think she is really good but at the end of the day it was only 1 hit and she walked out of the book shop on her own she wasnt knocked out or anything and then she was rushed to a clinic? a bit over the top to cancel stuff, was she not kicked in the face or something by a horse? she didnt cancel anything then.
      But still a man should not be hitting her or anyone for that matter.



    21. 21

      I don't understand… What was the reason the attacker gave for punching her? I hope she understands that someone crazy is someone crazy, not the average people.



    22. 22

      Re: karencarpenter – didn't know you're a PA girl…..me 2!!! :)

    23. Heh says – reply to this


      23

      Stupid bitch



    24. 24

      Thank god the freak didn't have a gun or a knife!What kind of an idiot hits a pretty chick like this?I could understand if he wanted to grab her ass but punch her?I hope the cops went apeshit on him!



    25. 25

      I do understand that she is apprehensive to get back out there. However, by cancelling that is totally unprofessional. Fans and the bookstores are relying on her. Could you imagine if we could skip out of work when we didn't feel like doing something?



    26. 26

      Re: my previous comment. Judging by the amount of people who take time to sign here just to wish Peerez to get knocked or die (or even worst, get shot), maybe there is a lottt more crazy people than I would have imagined.

      Re: RobPnMeShouldB – …Valley Forge! Howdy neighbor!



    28. 28

      It makes me sad when the victim of abuse has to change her/his routine to feel safe. Stay strong, dear Leona.



    29. 29

      Re: RedWingsFan – …agreed. I hope they used him like the bitch that he is.



    30. 30

      My kid got punched in the face on the school bus…and that was in first grade. There are bullies everywhere…just have to be tough and not get down. AS my daughter said to this bully: "I have already lost 4 teeth and I take Karate…wanna loose your first?" Sorry it happened, but don't cancel tour-then that guy gets the satisfaction. Good Luck!



    31. 31

      Get a grip, weak fucking woman. any man tried to hit me I'd hit him back, not sit and cry. baha.

    32. YUCK says – reply to this

      I hate this pic of LL, she looks like a sap and all pathetic and down n out. I know she just got socked but I hate this pic she looks stupid.



    33. 33

      what an asshole whoever did that! i don't think it was a smart move to cancell the tour but watever she has an amazing voice



    34. 34

      What bullshit. Grow a pair. You're going to cancel an entire book tour for one incident? I think the book must be crap and she's using the slap as an excuse not to promote it.



    35. 35

      It's not up to anyone to judge. To be smacked in the head and slapped - horribly traumatic I would think.



    36. 36

      Re: marlow – im sure I'd get over it, and then hunt the guy down, but i wouldnt let him hit me in the first place.



    37. 37

      who the hell is she and who gives a shit about her biography. stick to singing ppl.



    38. 38

      She needs to be more like Riri and learn to take a punch!



    39. 39

      Re: Anti_Emo! – LOL!
      radio crap makes people crzyyy will punch artist resposible! beware! omg that is tooo funny :) )



    40. 40

      dont let em stop you leona……….punch em back !



    41. 41

      Re: SARScastic – you kidding ??? a guy cold cocking a girl in the head isnt cowardly ??? what the hell are you on ???



    42. 42

      I don't get it. She's a singer. Why does she have a book? She doesn't need a book tour, she's a singer. An autobiography? Isn't she like 21 or something?

      I admit my ignorance.

      i do have a news flash though; on the same day she was punched/attacked, hundreds of other people who are NOT authors and singers were also. People get mugged, knocked down, robbed, whatever…most people on book tours do not get punched (not even Hunter Thompson or Rush Limbaugh, I guess); but…..unless her press rep insists, I'd cancel too. who needs it? she should call Rihanna and talk about putting frozen peas on a bruise.



    43. 43

      wow..i thought she was stronger than that. letting something like that stop an entire book tour is just plain lame. what a babbby



    44. 44

      Blame chris brown



    45. 45

      HAHAHAHAHA i hate this lady ever since the firs titme i heard her annoying ass bleeding love song that repeated every 25 minutes on the radio…she sucks, shes ugly, and im pretty sure shell be a no one by this time next year…unless someone knocks her out again, perhaps ill do it this time, then shell get some media coverage



    46. 46

      Have some strength, its not like he beat you to a bloody pulp. The fact that you can't hold your head up high and say 'no, i refuse to be a victim, im gona do what i set out to do regardless of the lame ass who hit me' just shows weakness! He wins because you are afraid! People use violence to get what they want, by being a coward and slipping into the shadows with your tail between your legs gives your attacker exactly what he wants!!!!!! I might have had sympathy for you if you had stood up not only for yourself, but for women everywhere, but now I just see you as a scared, whiney, cowardly, victim! That is exactly why men think they can treat women like shit, because they can gain power, you gave him all the power the minute you cancelled on your fans!



    47. 47

      Re: karencarpenter – I hope he didn't, because that would be kinda weird - first he buys her book.. and then punches her?!



    48. 48

      can you blame her?



    49. 49

      Poor thing!



    50. 50

      Re: RobPnMeShouldB – do you know what its like to publically be front of thousands of people?? im sure you dont, so how can you say "theres no excuse"??



    51. 51

      Re: Apple_BottomBooty – she's being a baby….suck it up and get over it….people get punched everyday and they go on about their business…..



    52. 52

      Pretty spineless really. Fork out for some security if you're worried - letting one deranged nut ruin it for everyone else is pretty weak princess!!



    53. 53

      Meh, she just needs someone to smack a little sense into her….



    54. 54

      so what, she got slapped. it was wrong yes, but how is she even considered a diva when she pusses out crying and having to be "rushed to the hospital" from a slap. a true diva would have slapped back then sat down and finished signing the books and not cancelling the rest of the book tour.



    55. 55

      Sucks =[
