CELEBRITY
Celine Dion, 61 years old today has confirmed that the recent rumors are actually true. We’ll support you whatever you choose to do, Celine. Thanks for all the great memories!
Despite her health challenges, she assured her fans she was not giving up and expressed her excitement to see them again soon.
“It is tremendous disappointment that we have to announce today the cancellation of the Courage World Tour,” she posted.
“I’m so sorry to disappoint all of you once again. I’m working really hard to build back my strength, but touring can be very difficult even when you’re 100%.
“It’s not fair to you to keep postponing the shows, and even though it breaks my heart, it’s best that we cancel everything now until I’m really ready to be back on stage again.
“I want you all to know, I’m not giving up… and I can’t wait to see you again!”
This unfortunate cancellation affects her Courage World Tour, scheduled to start in Amsterdam in August and conclude with two shows at London’s O2 stadium in April of the following year. Dion had already performed 52 concerts before the tour was interrupted by the COVID-19 pandemic. Due to her health issues, she had to make the difficult decision to cancel the North American leg at the time.
Stiff-Person Syndrome causes muscle spasms, making it difficult for Dion to use her vocal cords as she’s used to. This condition leads to torso, arm, and leg stiffness, and even minor disturbances can trigger spasms. Dion profoundly regrets being unable to embark on her European tour in February as originally planned.
Despite their disappointment, fans have flooded social media platforms with support, understanding, and well-wishes for Dion. One fan information account tweeted, “Not surprising, but no less sad.
We have the courage for you, Celine. We are with you.” Another fan, posting under the handle @notaerz, wrote, “You don’t have to apologize, queen! Take care of yourself. Your
