Star: LeAnn Rimes London meet & greet event was a sad affair with few fans

At this point, it feels almost too mean to make fun of LeAnn Rimes. But, in my defense, she does have a new album out (Remnants) and she probably knows any publicity is good publicity, or something. LeAnn has spent a lot of time in London recently promoting this album, which doesnt make much sense

At this point, it feels almost too mean to make fun of LeAnn Rimes. But, in my defense, she does have a new album out (Remnants) and she probably knows any publicity is good publicity, or something. LeAnn has spent a lot of time in London recently promoting this album, which doesn’t make much sense to me. I would think that LeAnn’s fanbase (as it is) is mostly in America, and most British people don’t have a clue about who LeAnn is or what her music sounds like. I may be right about that, according to Star Magazine. LeAnn was doing a meet-and-greet in London several weeks back and the event was very… quiet.

LeAnn Rimes had planned a four-hour meet and greet to promote her new album, Remnants, I London on October 29, but witnesses say the turnout was so pathetic that the event was over in just 30 minutes.

“It was terrible,” says an insider. “LeAnn took forever to sign each copy and was so desperate to keep people from leaving, she resorted to asking fans about their lives!”

The insider says LeAnn kept hissing and signaling to her people to do something, but apart from dragging people in off the street, they were stumped too. “People just didn’t know who she was,” adds the spy. “Nobody was approaching her. Her security guard basically had nothing to do by stand there and whistle.”

This doesn’t surprise me at all, if it is true (which I think it is). I understand that LeAnn still wants to make music, and that’s her right. But she still lives in a delusional bubble where she thinks she can still fill huge concert halls, and that she’s going to have so many fans (IN LONDON?) that she needs to set aside four hours for a meet-and-greet. And that’s just not where she is. That’s not the reality of her career now. And so I do wonder… why does she keep doing this? Is it for the love of the music, or is it because she’s desperate for money/attention/fame?
