Affected by “serious and persistent muscle spasms”, singer Celine Dion has canceled concerts of her world tour Courage due to take place in the United States and Canada from March 9 to April 22. The 19 concerts in question, which would normally have taken place in August and September, had been postponed due to the pandemic.

The singer’s medical team continues to assess and treat her condition. t-on in a press release published on Saturday.

Celine Dion had previously performed the first 52 concerts of her tour before the start of the pandemic, in March 2020 before recently being treated for muscle spasms that prevented her from singing.

In October, the Quebec singer was forced to cancel the grand premiere of her new show at the Resorts World theater in Las Vegas, which was scheduled for November 5.

Her recovery “would take longer than she expected”.

“I was really hoping to be ready to go back on stage now, but I find that I have to be more patient and follow the recommendations of my doctors. Our shows require a lot of organization and preparation, so we have to make decisions today that will affect the plans two months from now,” writes the performer.

She also adds that she is “very touched” by the messages of encouragement she received from fans on social media.

The canceled concerts were mostly scheduled to take place in the American West and Canada. Four Canadian cities were on the menu: Winnipeg, Saskatoon, Edmonton and Vancouver.

Despite the cancellation of the end of the North American leg of Courage, the European shows of the tour are still scheduled for the singer’s schedule in the spring, with a first concert in Birmingham, in England on May 25.
