Celine Dion cancels several concerts for health reasons
Quebec singer Celine Dion has announced the cancellation of some forty concerts scheduled in Europe until April 2024 due to health problems. The organizers of his tour confirmed this decision in a press release sent to Agence France-Presse.
A rare neurological pathology
Celine Dion suffers from a rare neurological pathology for which she continues her treatment. In December, she had already announced the cancellation or postponement of concerts scheduled in Europe between February and July 2023. In the press release, the 55-year-old singer said: “I am so sorry to disappoint you once again. I work very hard to regain my strength, but the tours can be demanding and difficult (…). Although it breaks my heart, it’s better to cancel everything now, until I’m really ready to go back on stage. Celine Dion adds that it would be unfair to spectators to postpone the concerts once again.

A tour interrupted by the pandemic
Celine Dion’s last concert dates back to March 2020, in Newark (United States). His “Courage World Tour” world tour had been interrupted by the Covid-19 pandemic after around fifty concerts in North America. The singer then explained that she suffered from muscle spasms.

She was then to perform in other European cities, including Amsterdam and London.
