...that tour promoter SFX had canceled the remaining shows, while SFX, which is reportedly paying Ross $20 million, begged to differ, claiming that only certain shows had been canceled.

Saddened by the cancellations, Ross said, "I would sing the same if there were 10 people in the audience or 10,000." Now if she could just get those 10 people to pay $2 million apiece...
