Alaskan singer-songwriter Jewel may be heading home for the holidays, but she won't be playing a gig there.
The performer, who released an LP of seasonal standards entitled "Joy - A Holiday Collection" earlier this month, has canceled plans to play a New Year's Eve show at the Sullivan Sports Arena in Anchorage, Alaska, according to the Associated Press. Jewel supposedly chose to nix the show because of possible Y2K issues, although slow ticket sales may have been the actual culprit. As of last week, the December 31 concert had only sold 1,000 tickets out of the venue's seating capacity of 8,000. Despite the cancellation, fans can still look to a holiday treat of sorts from Jewel, as "Ride With The Devil," the Ang Lee film starring the singer, Skeet Ulrich, Tobey Maguire, and Jeffrey Wright, is scheduled to open on November 24.
