AceShowbiz - Celine Dion has apologized to her fans for postponing the European leg of her "Courage" world tour. In a new social media post, the "My Heart Will Go on" hitmaker shared that she has to delay her show due to "frustrating" health issues.
Turning to her Instagram account on Friday, April 29, the pop diva shared an emotional video in which she announced the news. "Well, here we are again, and I'm so sorry we have to change our tour plans for Europe one more time," she began saying in the clip.
"First we had to move the shows, because of the pandemic, now this is my health issues that is causing us to postpone some shows, and unfortunately we have to cancel some, too," Celine continued. "I am doing a little bit better...but I'm still experiencing some spasms."
Celine went on sharing, "It's going very slow, and it's very frustrating for me." "The Power of Love" singer later noted that she took time to recover a little bit longer than she expected. "I'm getting treatment from my doctors, taking medication, but I'm still experiencing some spasms, and it's taking a lot longer for me to recover than I had hoped."
Elsewhere in her message, Celine pointed out that she needs to be in her "top shape" when she is on stage. The five-time Grammy winner said, "I honestly can't wait, but I'm just not there yet."
In addition, Celine also thanked her fans for their loyalty and patience. "I know you've all waited so long for the concerts and I appreciate your loyalty. By now I am convinced you should be fed up with all of this, you've been waiting for so long," she said.
Celine later vowed, "I'm doing my very best to get back to the level that I need to be so that I can give 100% at my shows because that's what you deserve." She then concluded her post by sending her support to Ukraine, "I also want to say that, like all of you, I stand with the people of Ukraine and I hope and pray that this war ends soon."
In the note accompanying Celine's post, tour dates for the 2022 European tour are predicted to be rescheduled for 2023. However, for her show in Paris, the dates are still "to be announced."
In January, Celine announced she would be taking a break from her "Courage" tour to recover after canceling the North American leg of her world tour. At the time, she shared that she was being treated for "severe and persistent muscle spasms."
"I was really hoping that I'd be good to go by now, but I suppose I just have to be more patient and follow the regimen that my doctors are prescribing," she wrote on her website. "There's a lot of organizing and preparation that goes into our shows, and so we have to make decisions today which will affect the plans two months down the road."
