Iggy Azalea postponed her tour.

Iggy Azalea will be planning her escape for quite a bit longer. The "Fancy" rapper, 24, was forced to postpone her upcoming The Great Escape Tour.

According to a statement from Azalea's label Def Jam records, the show dates will be rescheduled "due to tour production delays." 

While there was initial talk that the tour was cancelled completely, in the statement on Tuesday, March 10, Azalea's team clarified that the tour was simply pushed back, rather than pulled.

"To accommodate for creative team availability and tour production plans, it was determined that the tour will not be ready this spring," the official words read. "It is extremely important to Iggy that she delivers the show she envisaged to share with her fans and that requires more time in development."

"Iggz HQ: The tour getting pushed back only means that it'll be way more amazing than it would've been in April," her team added on Twitter. "Good things take time."

With Azalea's change of plans, the Australian performer is also losing her opening acts. She originally booked Nick Jonas and Tinashe to kick off her concerts, but the two artists will be replaced for the rescheduled dates.

The tour was scheduled to begin in just weeks, with the first show set for April 14 in Fresno, Calif. The debut installment is now pushed back five months, with the first concert rescheduled for Sept. 18 in San Diego. 

When the Great Escape Tour finally hits the road, it will be Azalea's second big national tour as the headlining artist. From April to September 2014, Nick Young's girlfriend hit major cities like Chicago, Los Angeles, New York City, and Boston in support of her chart-topping debut studio album The New Classic.
