The show, which was due to launch on Friday, February 26, at San Diego's Viejas Arena, will now kick off on March 12 in Jacksonville, Florida.

In fact, the show's first eight stops in San Jose, Phoenix, Texas, New Orleans and Atlanta have all shifted from this month to March and May, the singer's reps confirmed to Us Weekly in a statement, which cited "production delays" as the reason for the date shifts.
