New single "Finally Found You" available on iTunes.

Upcoming tour line up replacement is Frankie J

I was really from a super hot famous Reggaton artist to a somewhat famous really. That's kind of going to suck no offense but Enrique could have done better on a opening act.

Frankie J. Joins Jennifer Lopez, Enrique Iglesias Summer Tour After Wisin & Yandel Drop Out

Frankie J. Joins Jennifer Lopez, Enrique Iglesias Summer Tour After Wisin & Yandel Drop Out

R&B/soul singer Frankie J. has been invited to be part of the Jennifer Lopez and Enrique Iglesias summer tour two weeks after Latin urban duo Wisin & Yandel dropped out, according to a spokesperson for the crooner's label.

Frankie J, known for his smooth R&B vocals and earlier in his career for being part of the Kumbia Kings, is scheduled to perform on 21 of the tour's 26 dates. He will join Lopez and Iglesias on July 20 at the Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey. The first concert with Lopez and Iglesias exclusively is scheduled to open on July 14 at the Bell Centre in Montreal, Quebec.

"I am super excited to join Enrique and Jennifer on this adventure," Frankie J. said in a statement through Universal Music Latino. "They are global superstars and I am honored that they invited me to be a part of their tour. I look forward to performing for my fans across the country."
Wisin & Yandel Drop Off Jennifer Lopez/Enrique Iglesias Tour, Cite 'Unresolvable Issues'
In late June, Wisin & Yandel and their representatives had meetings with the tour's promoters, AEG Live, to work out the details of the tour, but in the end the duo decided to leave the highly publicized tour due to "unresolvable issues," according to Randy Phillips, president of AEG Live.

During an earlier interview, Phillips said that the decision was "amicable" among all involved parties, adding that, "it was probably better for them to do their own tour."

Phillips, who recently spoke exclusively to Billboard, said that Wisin & Yandel left the tour due to "timing issues" and "a host of things" that led to their announcement.

As soon as Wisin & Yandel announced their departure, fans immediately took to Twitter and other social media platforms to express their disappointment. Many said they were still going to see Lopez and Iglesias, but others were unhappy.

"I sooo wish I could get my money back!!," wrote Jay, a fan who posted his comments online. "I bought those tickets just to see Wisin & Yandel."

The websites for Lopez and Iglesias have already eliminated Wisin & Yandel from the touring schedule, but the duo's names are still mentioned through Ticketmaster's automated system. An employee through Ticketmaster said that fans of Wisin & Yandel can receive refunds if they call before July 14. Tickets vary in price, but at the Staples Center in Los Angeles, tickets range from $29.50-$250 for the Aug. 16 and Aug. 17 shows.
Jennifer Lopez, Enrique Iglesias Announce Summer Tour
Wisin & Yandel issued a joint statement apologizing to fans and explaing briefly why they decided to leave the tour.

"We wish Jennifer and Enrique, as well as the tour, the very best," Wisin & Yandel said. "We promise to do our best to announce an upcoming U.S. tour in the very near future as we are as eager to be out there performing for our fans as they are to see us."

Iglesias announced a major tour last year with Britney Spears, but it never came to be. Instead, he called on Pitbull and Prince Royce for a fall U.S. tour, which went on to gross more than $7.2 million in its final nine dates. At New York's Madison Square Garden it made more than $1.3 million on Nov. 4, according to Billboard Boxscore.

Frankie J., who was raised in Southern California and sings in both English and Spanish, will receive a strong push later this month as he debuts his new single, "Tienes Que Creer en Mi" ("You Have To Believe In Me"), on the popular Univision awards show "Premios Juventud." The program is scheduled to air on July 19.

Frankie J. joins Lopez and Iglesias the following day in Newark, New Jersey.

Is not up to Enrique, it is also JLo's tour. The tour is about to start and I'm sure finding an opening act in such short amount of time was hard
