Beyonce has cancelled her plans to make an announcement amid the devastating scenes in Los Angeles. The global megastar, 43, had been due to finally share something with excited fans today (14th January) after teasing an announcement following her epic halftime show performance on Christmas Day at the Baltimore Ravens vs. Houston Texans game, with many expecting an upcoming Cowboy Carter tour to be confirmed.
But after weeks of speculation, Beyonce has postponed her announcement - citing respect for those affected by the devastating LA wildfires. The sweeping fires in California have killed 24 people, ravaged communities, and sent thousands frantically fleeing their properties, including areas dotted with celebrity homes.
Beyonce's decision to postpone her announcement comes as officials warned that winds scattering ash could threaten the progress made so far on the infernos that have sent thousands of people frantically fleeing their properties. In a statement shared on social media on Monday (13th January), Beyonce told fans: "The January 14th announcement will be postponed to a later date due to the devastation caused by the ongoing wildfires around areas of Los Angeles. I continue to pray for healing and rebuilding for the families suffering from trauma and loss.".
The Texas Hold 'Em singer, who is said to have donated $2.5million to the LA Fire Relief Fund through her BeyGOOD Foundation, concluded with: "We are so blessed to have brave first responders who continue to work tirelessly to protect the Los Angeles community. To join our efforts in supporting those impacted, please visit @beygood. Love, B.".
