The Black Keys Split With Managers Following Arena Tour Cancellation

The Black Keys split with their managers after their arena tour was canceled. The band had been managed by Irving Azoff and Steve Moir since 2021.

The Black Keys has parted ways with its managers, Irving Azoff and Steve Moir, following the abrupt cancellation of the band’s arena tour in North America late last month. Two days later, the band — which consists of Dan Auerbach and Patrick Carney — posted an update on X (formerly Twitter) writing that they had “decided,” following a run of shows in the United Kingdom and Europe, “to make some changes to the North American leg of the International Players Tour that will enable us to offer a similarly exciting, intimate experience for both fans and the band, and will be announcing a revised set of dates shortly.” No other reason was given for the cancellation of the arena dates, though it has been widely speculated that slow ticket sales were to blame. The touring giant stated that the superstar was “taking time off to be with her children, family and close friends.” Lopez later released her own statement saying that she was “completely heartsick” over the cancellation and that she “wouldn’t do this if I didn’t feel that it was absolutely necessary.”
