The Wanted cancel European tour
So they released a twitter statement saying that they have canceled their European dates due to 'unforeseen changes'. Ireland and Us dates go ahead.
This is unusual. I never thought they could sell out arena's though I wasn't aware of how ticket sales were going.
interesting that the Us dates are still on but also that they are not arena venues, ( I think).
Is this the beginning of the end?
What is the real reason for the cancellation?

They tried to make a tour and failed terribly, so there probably wasn't another way than cancelling it alltogether...
Who cares about TW in the UK too? LOL!
You think The Wanted are doing poorly in the UK and Europe? That doesn't compare to how horrendously awful they're doing in the States.

Let's hope. Can't wait for them to split up.
NO
Im not a fan of The Wanted at all. But do they do badly in the States,,,only reason I ask is that they had a programme on E! so I assumed they were big in the States.
The only person I know who loves them is Lorraine Kelly..she was gushing over them and what nice boys they are this morning.
Hahaha, you're kidding! They look like they'd mug your granny and only seem to open their gobs to have a go at other artists. Lorraine Kelly realy is a joke when it comes to her slobbering.
Their show had horrible ratings on E. They didn't do much better than the Saturdays' show.
They had one big hit in the U.S with "Glad You Came." "Chasing The Sun" missed the top 40, while "I Found You" and "We Own The Night" barely made it onto the Hot 100.
Their EP they released in 2012 debuted at #7, selling 34,000 copies, before falling down the charts fast.
"Word of Mouth" did even worse. It debuted at #17 with 18,000 copies sold. In two weeks' time, it was off the Billboard 200.
However, they failed to build on the momentum of that hit and have been on a downward trajectory since.
I think the emergence of 1D have really hurt them too. It just seems weird that they are still around when their sales aren't up to much.....I guess they are still able to live off the success of Glad You Came.
A better name
One of them (Max) wasnt there for the show
What planet is she on?
Haha yeah
In my opinion, The Wanted have really hurt themselves by trying too hard to break America. They had a hit with "Glad You Came," but then 1D came and sent them crashing downward. They've been so focused on re-igniting the American flame that 1D put out, that they've neglected the country they're actually popular in.
Wanted were too busy to make it in America, when they would have and could have made themselves pretty big in the UK, but now that momentum is gone, and with most of their songs being awful, I doubt they will make it anywhere. I give them 1 year, and they will be done for good.
They were pretty big in the UK, but they focused too hard on breaking the U.S., when in actuality, it's much harder for teen acts to break there.
It's not just the Wanted who are in this position. Look at Austin Mahone, Conor Maynard, Jake Miller, Emblem3, and Midnight Red. Those are just some of the many teen male singers and boy bands who have a lot of superstar potential, but are being held back by 1D. Justin Bieber has his fair share of victims, including Cody Simpson, Greyson Chance, and Big Time Rush.
As a matter of fact, most people thought 1D was going to suffer the same fate as the acts mentioned above. In the end, 1D completely obliterated the "Bieber Barrier", and Justin had to share his spot in the teen world with Harry, Niall, Liam, Zayn, and Louis. Nowadays, the metaphorical penthouse that Bieber once occupied, 1D have all to themselves. Right now, the "1D Barrier" is still very strong, and there won't be more than five people in that "penthouse" anytime soon.
Oh dear. They will be missed - not
Plenty of people get dropped and don't split up/stop performing. As it goes they have fans who obviously will miss them
