With her new album, outlook and popularity it seems like Britney Spears can not put a foot wrong at the moment, however the shock announcement that Enrique Iglesias has pulled out of supporting the singer on her latest tour has set the rumour mills turning.

Britney Spears had only made the announcement that the Latino heartthrob would be joining her on the next tour during an interview on Good Morning America when a few hours later Enrique declared that he would not be taking part after all.

An announcement by the promoters of the Britney Spears tour, Live Nation simply stated that “Enrique Iglesias is no longer on this tour” with no further explanation being put forward at this time.

According to Billboard however the reason for Enrique pulling out of the tour is down to him feeling that he is too big a star to be rated a an opening act.

The tour is looking like being a big money spinner for Britney Spears if it is able to replicate the success of her 2009 The Circus Tour which took more than £82 million in ticket sales around the world.

While fans already know that the new Britney tour will be starting on June 17 in Sacramento in California, any other specific details of the 26 date arena tour have yet to be released by the team behind the show.
