Irene Cara will no longer be coming to Australia for her first national tour.

The Flashdance/Fame star pulled out of her Australian tour citing travel issues with “some of the key members of her band”.

A statement from touring company Lennard Promotions says, “on advice from Irene’s US solicitor the tour’s promoter was advised that Irene is unable to proceed with the tour as some of the key members of her band are now unable to travel. With not enough time for Irene to arrange replacement musicians so she has no alternative than to cancel the tour for the time being. Irene Cara extends her sincere apologies to all her Australian fans and looks forward to rescheduling when the timing allows”.

Irene Cara, both a Grammy and Academy Award winner, was due to start her Australian tour in Melbourne on November 6.

Dates cancelled are:

November 6, Melbourne, Palms

November 8, Gold Coast, Twin Towns

November 9, Caloundra, The Events Centre

November 13, Revesby, Whitlam Theatre
