Leading singer of the 2000s, Anastacia will be going on tour again this year. But without passing through the United States. She assures that her career was deliberately blocked across the Atlantic.
Anastacia, who can be proud of a career of almost 25 years in Music, will perform on the stage of La Cigale in Paris, on April 13, as part of her NTK25 Tour. If other concert dates are planned in Europe, none are planned in the United States. A choice that risks disappointing many of his American fans…
“Back then we needed radio to succeed“
The singer of I’m Outta Love gave the beginning of an explanation on Instagram for the absence of an American part of his tour. The 56-year-old Chicago-born star wrote: “I’m sorry the US market isn’t big enough for me. Of the problems with record companies made it very complicated from the start of my career [elle a signé un premier contrat en 1999 avec Daylight Records, un des labels d’Epic chez Sony Music, ndlr]. I went wherever they sent me. No one to blame since I don’t officially know why.”
And Anastacia, whose first album Not That Kind has sold 7 million copies worldwide, he added: “All I know is that unfortunately American radio stations have blacklisted my name. And at that time we needed radio to be successful. I no longer have resentment or frustration.“
Anastacia apologizes to her fans: “I’m really sorry…“
The singer, to whom we also owe the hit Left Outside Alonestill expresses regret. “I only apologize to my American fans as well as other fans from other countries where I cannot perform regularly (…) Really, I would love to be in every country playing and doing what I love to do.“
And Anastacia, who has since founded the Breast Cancer Research Fund after breast cancer, to conclude his Instagram publication: “I live day by day and appreciate all the things I have. Thank you for loving my music no matter where you live, and I’m so grateful to have such wonderful fans all these years“.
