The Piece by Piece Tour was the eighth headlining concert tour from American pop recording artist Kelly Clarkson, in support of her seventh studio studio album, ''Piece by Piece'' (2015). It began on July 11, 2015, in Hershey, Pennsylvania at the Hersheypark Stadium and concluded on September 10, 2015, in Atlanta, Georgia. ==Background== On February 2, 2015, while being interviewed by Canadian radio station 98.1 CHFI, Clarkson was asked about the tour. She replied that she just got the routing for the tour, and they would do the United States, part of Canada, then a full run in Canada, with further dates to follow at a later.〔 On March 3, 2015, Clarkson formally announced plans for a tour while promoting ''Piece by Piece'' (2015) during an appearance on ''Good Morning America''. An official release confirmed dates across North America.〔 Additional Canadian dates were released on March 16, 2015. Tour dates for the United Kingdom were announced on Clarkson's website on August 3, 2015.〔 Supporting Clarkson in the United States and Toronto are planned opening acts: Eric Hutchinson and Pentatonix.〔〔 In a video that Clarkson posted of herself on her Facebook page talking about the tour, she showed her excitement about Pentatonix opening for her and hopes to convince them to sing with her during her set. Nick Jonas and Tyler Shaw were scheduled to open up for Clarkson in October 2015 in Canada before these dates were cancelled.〔 On May 21, 2015, it was announced that singer Abi Ann would also be opening up for Clarkson. Clarkson confirmed plans to include ''Piece by Piece'' singles "Heartbeat Song" and "Invincible" in the set list for the show, alongside album-only tracks, "Dance With Me" and "Tightrope", with the latter promised to be a highlight for the show. Speaking to ''USA Today'', Clarkson stated: "Because of an element I've never done on tour, it makes sense to incorporate that song. I'm not flying or on a tightrope — there's not that — but it makes sense with that song and how it sounds on the record that it will fit into the show."〔 The Piece by Piece Tour will be led by Live Nation Entertainment's global touring division.〔 In early September 2015, Clarkson tweeted that the last six shows of the U.S. leg of the tour were cancelled due to Clarkson being put on vocal rest ordered by her doctors. She said, "So bummed that I have to cancel some of my tour dates. This kills me." "I am truly sorry to my fans that have been excited to see this show. Please know that I never cancel anything unless it's absolutely necessary."〔 Two weeks later on September 25, it was announced that the Canada and Europe dates had also been cancelled since her doctors told her she had to stay on vocal rest. About these cancelled shows Clarkson stated, "I am truly sorry that I have to cancel the remainder of my tour dates. I was looking forward to sharing this tour with all my amazing fans in Canada and the U.K. Unfortunately my doctor is telling me I have to stay on vocal rest, but I am working hard to get better as fast as possible." Tickets will be refunded.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Piece by Piece Tour」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
