Mark McGrath Abandons Ship, Cancels Nineties Nostalgia Cruise

Every morning, there's a halo hanging from the corner of our girlfriend's four post bed. Today, it's soiled in sadness because Mark McGrath, lead singer of Sugar Ray and former Extra co-host, has canceled his Nineties Nostalgia cruise.

Scheduled to depart from Miami in October, the 'Mark McGrath and Friends' was nixed because of poor press surrounding the recent "poop cruise" disaster, reports the LA Times.

"I'm really bummed as well," McGrath tells one fan on Twitter. "That poop cruise did us no favors."

Who in the 305 "want[s] to get up close and personal with your favorite #RizinStar artist?"

Well, sorry. It ain't gonna happen 'cause the Rizinstar Tour with Travis Porter, Kirko Bangz, Ca$h Out, and others has nixed its show at the James L. Knight Center in downtown Miami.

The venue and Ticketmaster have both confirmed the cancellation. (But neither the JLKC staff, nor the promoter have provided a concrete reason for Rizinstar's skipping Miami.) Refunds are available at the point of purchase.

Wake and bake and try to forget, homies.

Lady Gaga Cancels Entire Born This Way Ball Tour to Undergo Surgery

Lady_Gaga_Tour_Canceled_Born_This_Way_Ball.jpg
"I hate this. I hate this so much. I love you and Im sorry."

That's the desperately apologetic message that Lady Gaga sent out to all her Little Monsters after being forced to suddenly cancel four Born This Way Ball Tour dates because she "could not walk" following Monday's show.

"I've been hiding a show injury and chronic pain for sometime now," Gaga tweeted, explaining her condition, "over the past month it has worsened. I've been praying it would heal."

But it's only gotten worse. And now Mother Monster has nixed the rest of her tour.

J.Lo wasn't gonna be attending the WMAs anyway.
The World Music Awards just got canceled.

Only two days before the scheduled 2012 edition at Marlins Park, WMA organizers have nixed the show, blaming "visa issues" and -- absurdly -- the Newtown shooting.

"We are sorry for any inconvenience," the official statement reads, "but this decision had to be made due to logistical and multiple visa issues and in view of this week's national mourning."

Bad news, Baselites.

If you were stoked about seeing tripped-out experimental pop-hop producer Flying Lotus during Art Basel Miami Beach ... It ain't gonna happen.

After the hugely anticipated UR1 Fest got postponed, we here at Crossfade -- just like you, FlyLo, Zola Jesus, and Dan Deacon -- made plans to deal with our disappointment at this Saturday's Windish Agency Party at Grand Central.

But now ... Both Flying Lotus and Zola Jesus won't be showing up.

Less than 24 hours ago, English electronic dance music junkie Eats Everything (AKA Dan Pearce) chatted with Crossfade about having an incurable case of the munchies, releasing a new slab of superfunky beats on Dirtybird, and being totally stoked for his debut U.S. tour.

Unfortunately, though, Mr. Everything will not be coming to America. "I am absolutely gutted to announce that I have slipped a disc in my back," he explained just minutes ago in a post to his official Facebook page, "and as such have had to cancel my tour of the US.

"I am not one to cancel gigs unless it is absolutely necessary and it is under Doctor and Osteopaths orders that I do not travel. I apologise to anyone who was coming to see me in any of the cities I was visiting whilst on the tour. Sorry again. x"

Check the cut for a full list of Eats Everything's canceled gigs, including this Sunday's SAFE Miami fifth-anniversary bash at the Electric Pickle.

The R. Kelly Love Letter Cruise is cancelled.

Almost exactly eight months ago, we here at Crossfade encouraged "you and your boo [to] visit some of the most exotic ports of call in the Caribbean (read: tourist traps) while enjoying 'continental breakfast in bed' and all-you-can-drink 'non-carbonated beverages'" with the legendary slow jammer and notorious water sports enthusiast.

But now this freaky threesome at sea ain't nothing but a fantasy.

Pitbull Cancels Club 305 Cruise, Avoids Maritime Disaster

Pitbull Boat.jpg
Following Costa Concordia's horrific disaster-at-sea, competing cruise line Royal Caribbean has managed to avoid their own maritime mishap thanks to Mr. Worldwide, Pitbull.

Armando Christian Perez's Club 305 Cruise has been cancelled, but questions as to why the "magical voyage" with Pitbull, Paul Oakenfold, Flo Rida, and 2,500 of their closest friends was scrapped remain unanswered.

Scheduled for mid April, Pitbull's theme cruise was supposed to be a three-night, Miami-centric vacay, an excuse to get faded and dance poolside to tiki-tiki music. Sadly, however, there won't be a "Calle Ocho Bon Voyage Party."

Red Hot Chili Peppers Postpone 2012 US Tour, Reschedule South Florida Gig

Red Hot Chili Peppers.jpg
Being the frontman of one of the biggest bands on the planet can be a real pain in the sesamoid bone and flexor tendon. Just ask Red Hot Chili Peppers' Anthony Kiedis.

The porn 'stachioed rocker recently underwent surgery to treat a bum foot, the result of "multiple" injuries. And regrettably, RHCP have postponed the start of their 2012 US tour, which was scheduled to kick off at the BankAtlantic Center next week.
