Gomez opened up about her Revival World Tour cancellation last year in a new interview with Vogue.
Selena Gomez has revealed the reason why she abandoned last year’s world tour, saying that the loneliness of being on the road for such a long time, combined with depression and anxiety, were the reasons.
The 24 year old actress and singer cancelled her Revival World Tour in August 2016, three months after having launched it and a little over halfway through, meaning that scheduled performances in China, Europe and the UK fell by the wayside.

At the time, it was reported that the cancellation was down to anxiety and depression caused by her battle with the auto-immune disease lupus. However, in a new interview, Gomez has said that isolation and loneliness played a significant factor in her decision.
“Tours are a really lonely place for me,” she told the upcoming edition of Vogue magazine this week. “My self-esteem was shot. I was depressed, anxious. I started to have panic attacks right before getting onstage, or right after leaving the stage. Basically, I felt I wasn’t good enough, wasn’t capable.”

Essentially, she wasn’t able to commit herself to her performances in the way she would have liked, and felt time out was needed to rediscover that energy.
Gomez, the most followed person in the world on Instagram with more than 110 million fans, admitted that she was “freaked out” at the statistic. Now, she reveals, she doesn’t run her account by herself anymore.
“It had become so consuming to me. It’s what I woke up to and went to sleep to. I was an addict, and it felt like I was seeing things I didn’t want to see, like it was putting things in my head that I didn’t want to care about,” she said.
