She further addressed her 5.2 million followers, explaining, "We've tried as many different scenarios as possible for the tour but none are possible."
The good news for ticket holders is that, as Eilish explained, "The best thing we can do for everyone is to get the money back into your hands as soon as we can." Eilish ended her Twitter update about the cancelation of her world tour by sharing some health advice for her followers: "stay safe, drink lots of water and wear a mask."
