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. 

The singer’s medical team continues to evaluate and treat her condition. 

The “My Heart Will Go On” performer shares her disappointment with the cancellations but hopes to be reunited with her fans again soon. 

“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…” she said in a tweet.

Dion completed the first 52 dates of her tour in North America before the COVID-19 pandemic and paused the tour in March of 2020. 

Forty-two upcoming shows have been cancelled and anticipating concertgoers will be refunded from the original points of sale.
