They haven't ducked out of anything! They've simply brought the release dates forward because the album's been selling so well they don't need an extra week of promotion.

Th annoucement of the tour has added to the anticipation and demand as well! That is going to sell out in minutes tomorrow morning and I damn well better be someone with tickets! LOL!
On and off, they have been around for nearly 20 years now. Their concerts are sell-outs no matter what. They'll already sell enough albums to ensure another two or three albums in the future at least.
I can't see the idea of a chart battle with JLS having them panicking about their careers!
I doubt very much that TT have ducked out of anything with JLS, as TT would cream them in the charts (check 2011 Tour ticket sales today). It's probably just a record company thing... I'm not a TT or JLS fan by the way, so completely impartial.
