Celine Dion Cancels 2023-2024 Shows Due To Health Issues
Pop icon Celine Dion on Friday canceled all her remaining shows scheduled for 2023-2024, saying she was not strong enough to tour as she battles a rare neurological disorder.
Last year, the 55-year-old Canadian singer made it known that her condition — Stiff-Person Syndrome — was affecting her singing.
“I’m so sorry to disappoint all of you once again… and even though it breaks my heart, it’s best that we cancel everything until I’m really ready to be back on stage,” the ‘My Heart Will Go On’ songstress tweeted.
“I’m not giving up… and I can’t wait to see you again!” she added.
A statement released by her team said: “With a sense of tremendous disappointment, Celine Dion’s Courage World Tour today announced the cancellation of all remaining dates currently on sale for 2023 and 2024.”
“I’m working really hard to build back my strength, but touring can be very difficult even when you’re 100%,” she disclosed this in her statement which was also posted on Instagram.
The cancellations will affect her 16-country tour in Europe which was due to start in Amsterdam in August and conclude with two dates at the O2 arena in London in April next year.
Tickets purchased for the canceled dates will be refunded via their original point of sale, her website said.
