MONTREAL, Canada —
Canadian superstar
Celine Dion announced Friday the postponement until 2023 of
European concert dates for her “Courage World Tour,” citing a persistent health
issue.

“I feel a little
better ... but I still have spasms,” Dion explained in a news release, updating
fans on severe involuntary muscle contractions that she began experiencing late
last year.
“I’m so sorry to
have to change the dates of the
European tour again; the first time it was
because of the pandemic, now it’s because of my health,” said the 54-year-old
singer.
“To be on stage, I
have to be on top of my game. To be honest, I can’t wait, but I’m not quite
ready yet ... I’m trying my best to come back at 100 percent to get on stage,
because that’s what you deserve.”
The Grammy Award-winner’s
tour is her first without her husband-manager Rene Angelil, who died from
cancer in 2016.
Dion had given the
first 52 shows of the global itinerary before the start of the
COVID-19 pandemic, at the beginning of 2020. She announced in January that she was
canceling the North American leg because of health problems.
Speaking directly
to fans in an online video, she thanked them for their understanding and
support, her voice trembling with emotion.
“The good news is
that I am doing a little bit better, but it (her recovery) is going very slow
and it is very frustrating for me,” she said with a sigh, her eyes tearing up.
“I appreciate your loyalty,” she added.
