FIFA, football’s world governing body confirmed on Sunday
night in Rio de Janeiro that the Pop star Jennifer Lopez has pulled out of the
World Cup opening ceremony coming up on Thursday in Brazil.
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,” but 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.”
