The Voice UK Live tour cancelled due to poor ticket sales The Voice UK Live tour cancelled due to poor ticket sales

THE Voice UK live tour - which was due to kick off in Bournemouth in September - has been cancelled due to poor ticket sales.

This weekend, winner Leanne Mitchell failed to chart with her first single, a cover of Whitney Houston's Run to You, which she performed on the BBC show.

The Voice started well, attracting audiences of more than 10million for its early "blind" rounds, but ratings fell once the live shows began, with critics saying it was too similar to the X-Factor.

The tour was also due to visit Cardiff, Birmingham, Manchester, Liverpool, London, Glasgow and Sheffield, but none of the dates will now go ahead.

Those with tickets are advised to contact their point of sale for refunds.

Well said Penhale. Great that the public have had their vote, and the vote was "B****r Orf" we've had enough.

This is a great shame. I do hope that television production companies don't take this as a vote of no confidence; there is plenty of room in the market for yet more singing / dancing / talent shows out there, each one more thrillingly different to the last. It would be tragic to cut this television genre short at this stage, before its even gained the momentum it deserves.
