However, concert promoter Live Nation is disputing the claims of issues concerning ticket sales.
“There is no truth whatsoever to any stories or rumors of venues pulling out of the Bangerz Tour. Miley has created a tour that’s big, spectacular, entertaining and everything you would expect from Miley Cyrus," the statement, obtained by the Daily News, read.
"Reviews have been amazing and most important, fans are loving the show and having a great time."
Last month Cyrus previewed her stage show in a televised MTV “Unplugged” special, which the singer said was an opportunity to showcase her vocal talent.
While much of the “Bangerz” tour news involves what Cyrus has been doing on stage, several reviews — like one by Rolling Stone magazine — laud the pop star’s singing chops.
