Céline Dion Cancels North American Leg of Tour Due to “Severe and Persistent Muscle Spasms”

Céline Dion has just announced that she will be canceling the North American portion of her Courage World Tour, initially scheduled from March 9th to April 22th, due to needing treatment for “severe and persistent muscle spasms.”

“I was really hoping that I’d be good to go by now, but I suppose I just have to be more patient and follow the regimen that my doctors are prescribing,” she wrote. “There’s a lot of organizing and preparation that goes into our shows, and so we have to make decisions today which will affect the plans two months down the road.”

“I’ll be so glad to get back to full health, as well as all of us getting past this pandemic, and I can’t wait to be back on stage again. Meanwhile, I’ve been very touched by all the words of encouragement that everyone’s been sending to me on social media. I feel your love and support and it means the world to me,” Dion added.

The five-time Grammy winner had previously postponed her new November Las Vegas residency at The Theatre at Resorts World, also due to her muscle spasms that prevented her from performing.
