The final dates of the Diana Ross & The Supremes: Return To Love tour have been officially and mercifully canceled.

SFX and Ticketmaster Web sites now show cancellations for what had been the remainder of the tour. A spokesperson for The Next Adventure told Pollstar the tour is indeed officially over.

While credit for the cancellation is yet to be claimed, calls to venues show that the life-support plug likely got pulled July 19.

The not-quite-a-reunion of Diana Ross & The Supremes flatlined July 10 when Ross issued a press release accusing promoter SFX of canceling the remainder of the tour. It had seen what could charitably be called disappointing ticket sales at almost every venue it played since launching on June 14 in Philadelphia.

When Ross issued her statement, in which she said she was “severely disappointed” in her promoters, SFX denied that the outing had been canceled at all, and pointed out tickets were still available for upcoming shows.

It appeared a battle was on.

Three consecutive shows beginning July 7 had already bitten the dust by the time Ross lashed out at promoters. Subsequent dates fell one by one, sometimes less than 24 hours out.

Most likely, the stalemate resulted over settlement negotiations. Had Ross canceled the tour, promoters would be off the hook for her multimillion-dollar fee. If the production was canceled by promoters, she would likely have to be paid in full.

Calls to Ross’ attorney and to SFX to confirm a settlement were not immediately returned.
