Jelly Roll says he’s brokenhearted after canceling the last show of his milestone tour.
In October, Jelly Roll kicked off his first-ever tour in Australia and New Zealand.
His trek took him to Melbourne, Sydney, Adelaide, Newcastle, and Perth. He also headlined the Strummingbird Festival on the Sunshine Coast on October 25.
Jelly Roll experienced a series of highs and lows while visiting Australia. He was thrilled to hold a baby Quokka, whom he named Loretta after country music queen Loretta Lynn.
On the other hand, he had a less-than-positive experience while shopping at Louis Vuitton in Sydney. The “I Am Not Okay” singer claims he was treated “like a criminal” while shopping at the store.
But Jelly Roll put all that behind him and was excited to continue on his tour. His last show was scheduled for over the weekend in Auckland, New Zealand. Unfortunately, Jelly Roll was forced to cancel the show at the last minute due to illness.
Jelly Roll shared his heartbreak over the cancellation in an Instagram Story post. He asked for his fans’ forgiveness, writing:
“Dear Auckland, I’ve done everything I can. I just can’t shake it. It breaks my heart, I’ve probably missed three shows in the last decade. I pride myself on showing up no matter what. Just couldn’t do it this time. Please forgive me.”
Billboard shared a statement from Live Nation, who said:
“We regret to announce the Jelly Roll Down Under 2025 Tour tonight at The Outer Fields at Western Springs in Auckland will no longer go ahead due to illness. All ticket holders will receive an automatic full refund. For any further refund [inquiries] please contact your point of purchase. We thank the fans for their understanding, and we look forward to welcoming Jelly Roll in the future.”
While on tour overseas, Jelly Roll learned he’d been nominated for three Grammy Awards. For starters, his latest album, Beautifully Broken, was nominated for Best Contemporary Country Album.
His “Amen” collaboration with Shaboozey earned a nod for Best Country Duo/Group Performance. Outside of country music, Jelly Roll’s powerful collaboration with Brandon Lake, “Hard Fought Hallelujah,” was nominated for Best Contemporary Christian Music Performance/Song.
Additionally, “Hard Fought Hallelujah” has been nominated for Musical Event of the Year at the upcoming CMA Awards on November 19.
If Jelly Roll gets to feeling better, his next show is scheduled for Saturday (November 15) at the Corona Capital Festival in Mexico City, Mexico.

Real Housewives of New Jersey fans were shocked when Teresa Giudice announced that she wanted peace with her family. Her feud with her brother,
It seems that Teresa met with Joe and Melissa, and the group discussed their issues. A source claimed that the RHONJ stars “were really good when they left.” Of course, Teresa and the Gorgas couldn’t both be on Jersey if they weren’t speaking.
We may never know what was said at this sit-down, since Bravo allegedly decided not to film it. However, it sounds as if Luis may have been the driving force behind this family reunion. “Luis is the one who pushed Teresa to ultimately meet with her brother and Melissa. It’s no secret, given the tax liens, that there has been financial pressure on them,” a source told RadarOnline.
Luis reportedly owes nearly $2.6 million in taxes to the state of New Jersey, while Teresa owes approximately $303,889.20. The source added that RHONJ’s lengthy pause has been a “major financial blow” for the duo because they “absolutely need the money.”
The insider continued, “He figured if she makes up with Joe and Melissa it would give her a much stronger chance to be back on the show and save her job.” Plus, Luis was reportedly part of the meeting and “has made up with Joe.” The source added, “As evidence, they are now following each other on Instagram.” In fact, Luis is following Melissa and Joe on Instagram, and Joe is following Luis. However, Teresa and the Gorgas are not following each other.
