Pop sensation Celine Dion has made the difficult decision to cancel all her remaining shows for the 2023-2024 tour, citing her ongoing battle with a rare neurological disorder as the reason.
The 55-year-old Canadian icon, known for her powerful vocals and chart-topping hits, revealed last year that her condition, Stiff-Person Syndrome, was impacting her ability to perform.
In a heartfelt tweet, Dion expressed her apologies to her loyal fans: "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."
She emphasized her determination, adding, "I'm not giving up... and I can't wait to see you again!"
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…

A statement from her tour confirmed the cancellations, stating, "With a sense of tremendous disappointment, Celine Dion's Courage World Tour today announced the cancellation of all remaining dates currently on sale for 2023 and 2024."
The tour was scheduled to include 16 countries and conclude with two shows at London's O2 arena in April next year.
Ticket holders for the cancelled dates will receive refunds through their original point of purchase.
Celine Dion rose to international fame with hits like "Because You Loved Me," "My Heart Will Go On," and "Think Twice."
Her "Courage World Tour" commenced in 2019, but was halted due to the COVID-19 pandemic after 52 shows. Dion had previously canceled the North American leg of the tour due to her health issues.
Although Dion had recently released a new album titled "Love Again," featuring new songs and past hits, her health concerns continue to take precedence.
