Celine Dion is cancelling European concert dates scheduled from late summer to early spring 2024.
The Canadian superstar announced all her remaining “Courage World Tour” shows have been called off due to her ongoing medical condition, in a news statement.
Dion was diagnosed with Stiff Person’s Syndrome (SPS) which “causes severe and persistent muscle spasms” that have “prevented her from performing,” the statement reads.
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… I’m not giving up… and I can’t wait to see you again!” – Celine xx…
