Celine Dion cancels North America tour due to health troubles

Singer Celine Dion announced on Saturday she would not be able to perform the North America leg of her “Courage world tour,” citing persistent health problems.

“I was really hoping that I’d be good to go by now, but I suppose I just have to be more patient,” the singer wrote on Twitter.

After a pause due to the pandemic, Celine Dion had been scheduled to resume her world tour in November 2021 with a slate of performances in Las Vegas.

Those dates were cancelled in October after she began “experiencing severe and persistent muscle spasms,” she said at the time on Twitter.

The singer had hoped to continue the tour in March, starting in Denver and travelling over two months to 15 other cities across the United States and Canada.

Those dates are now also cancelled, due to “her recovery taking longer than she hoped,” explained Celine Dion’s management in a press release accompanying her tweet.

“I feel your love and support and it means the world to me.”
