Selena Gomez, who recently cancelled the Australian and Asian legs of her Stars Dance tour due to needing personal time, went back home to help cook Christmas dinner and spend time with her six-month-old half-sister Gracie Elliot Teefey Last week, LiveNation released a statement from Selena last week:

“My fans are so important to me and I would never want to disappoint them. But it has become clear to me and those close to me that after many years of putting my work first, I need to spend some time on myself in order to be the best person I can be. To my fans, I sincerely apologize and I hope you guys know how much each and every one of you mean to me.” Family time may be exactly what she needs to get back on her feet.
