The Voice UK winner, Leanne Mitchell won’t be belting out the big notes in front of live audiences any time soon. According to the Daily Mail, The Voice UK tour has been cancelled due to poor ticket sales.
“Unfortunately, The Voice UK Live has been cancelled due to lack of ticket sales – customers are advised to contact their point of purchase for ticket refunds,” said a spokesperson for the BBC, the network that airs The Voice in the UK.

The Voice winner UK Leanne only got to number 45 on the iTunes chart.
