KEY POINTS:
Continuing the curse of cancelled R&B gigs in New Zealand, soul diva Mary J. Blige has postponed her two New Zealand shows which were scheduled to take place next week.
Blige has cancelled all her Australian and New Zealand tour dates this month, citing exhaustion. The shows have been rescheduled for November and tickets already purchased will be valid for the new dates.
The postponement is the latest in a series of cancelled R&B concerts throughout the country over the past 12 months.
Last month Boyz II Men cancelled their Wellington show, while earlier this year, the Get Served tour - featuring Omarion, Marques Houston and Avant - was cancelled hours before the event was due to take place.
Last year, Akon and The Game's Roc the Block concert at Vector Arena was postponed, before The Game pulled out altogether, and Bobby Brown's Rotorua concert was cancelled last July.
