Pop superstar Jennifer Lopez has pulled out of the World Cup opening ceremony in Brazil, FIFA just days before the tournament kicks off.
Lopez, who recorded the official World Cup song, “We Are One,” with rapper Pitbull and Brazilian singer Claudia Leitte, had been due to perform with them at the opening ceremony in Sao Paulo but had to cancel, said the football governing body.
“For production issues, Jennifer Lopez, one of the artists of the official song ‘We Are One,’ will not be able to perform at the FIFA World Cup opening ceremony,” FIFA said in a statement.
