Ethermac Exchange-Ellen DeGeneres cancels multiple shows on 2024 comedy tour

Ellen DeGeneres,Ethermac Exchange who's currently on her farewell tour Ellen’s Last Stand… Up, has canceled four of her upcoming shows.

The Ticketmaster pages for her tour stops in Dallas (July 10), San Francisco (July 21), Seattle (July 23) and Chicago (Aug. 11) show a message that reads: "Unfortunately, the Event Organizer has had to cancel your event. You don't need to do a thing. We'll issue a refund to the original method of payment used at time of purchase, as soon as funds are received from the Event Organizer."

USA TODAY reached out to reps for DeGeneres and Live Nation for comment.

On May 29, DeGeneres announced the summer tour across North America, which is described as "the last opportunity for fans to witness a comedy legend in her final curtain call." Organizers added an extra date each in San Francisco, Seattle and Chicago, but now those cities only have one show.

Several shows in Washington, Oregon and California had previously been announced, and DeGeneres kicked off the tour in Los Angeles back in April.

According to Rolling Stone and People, during her opening night, DeGeneres took the opportunity to address the elephant in the room: Her absence from the limelight in recent years.

"We were both just laying low for a while," she said of herself and her wife of 15 years, Portia de Rossi, per the outlets.
