FIFA, the
football’s world governing body confirmed on Sunday night in Rio de Janeiro,
Brazil that the Pop star Jennifer Lopez has pulled out of the World Cup opening
ceremony coming up on Thursday.
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 on Thursday in Sao Paulo.
FIFA said that
even with the pull out the opening ceremony would amaze the public, while paying
homage to Brazil’s three biggest treasures - nature, people and football.
The singer’s
representatives said in a statement, that regretfully Jennifer Lopez would not
be attending this year’s World Cup ceremonies. It however, gave no further
explanation about why she would not be performing.
Meanwhile last
week, Lopez said she was “thrilled” to be given the chance to perform at the
opening ceremony, describing it as an amazing celebration of global unity,
competition and sport.
