Josh Krajcik reveals that X Factor USA tour is cancelled

Josh Krajcik has revealed that there will not be an X Factor USA tour.

The rock singer – who finished in second place on the Fox singing show last month – admitted that bosses had considered the option of sending all the stars of the series around America to perform for fans of the show, but decided against it recently.

The decision was one that Krajcik welcomed with open arms, as he confessed that he ‘didn’t want’ to be part of the concerts.

The 30 year old singer told Columbus Alive:

There was talk of it. It’s been taken off the table. I’m glad, because I didn’t want to do that. I’m ready to get to work on my career.

Josh also revealed that he has a new management team in place, after being signed to Front Line Management Group, which is affiliated with Simon Cowell’s Syco Entertainment and explained that he will soon be travelling to LA to meet with them about what’s next for him. he added:

Front Line was the group that made the deal with the show to manage some of us, so they’re a great, great management team. I’m excited to get to know them. They’re one of the biggest in the business. I’m going to let them know what I expect and hear what they expect.

The bulky performer also revealed that though he is now technically a solo artist, he does still want to find a way to involve his old ‘Josh Krajcik Band’ in his future career.

“That’s one of my goals, to get those guys involved, whether it’s recording or touring. It’s tricky because I’ll likely be out in LA a lot and those guys have mortgages at home… I’ve been playing with Mitch (Pinkston) and Corey (Gillen) for eight years. There’s no reason to not try to get those guys on the bill. The chemistry is there. They’re my best friends. That’s a big goal of mine,” he said, adding:

“I think whatever happens happens, but I have to at least try. There’s no reason to not take a ready-to-go rhythm section. I want to add a horn section and singers and all that, but it would be nice to have that base where we know each other and work well together.”

    Thank goodness Idol starts this week and we can start to recover from the hideous abomination that X Factor was.

      You got that right, Grumpie. That was one lame piece of TV programming and I’m hopeful FOX will decline to bring it back next season.

    LOL im kinda glad this is heppening since the show was really bad and it was all about the hype around the contestants, and the live shows were pretty much a mess, not as good as the UK version.

    Oh dear, some very grumpy people with nothing worth reading to say I see. Personally I will take X Factor any day over the old, Boring and stale American idol. Sorry to also disappoint you all and say that X factor have has already secured a slot for this year with Fox. Well done to Simon Cowell in his first year in the USA, the show will be fine tuned as it was over the years in the UK.
