Celine Dion has rescheduled the UK and European leg of her Courage world tour due to her ongoing health issues. The dates had already been postponed once due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The first is scheduled to begin in Prague on February 24 in 2023 and will run until a pair of London shows on April 10 and 11. Come August, Dion will start the next set of shows in Amsterdam. She will then tour the continent until she closes out the tour with two shows in Helsinki on October 3rd and 4th.
The star told fans in an emotional video posted to Instagram “Hi everyone – well, here we are again and I’m so sorry that we have to change our tour plans for Europe one more time, 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.
The statement continued: “Unfortunately, we have to cancel some too. The good news is that I’m doing a little bit better. It’s going very slow and it’s very frustrating for me. 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. I need to be in top shape when I’m on stage. I honestly can’t wait. But I’m just not there yet. Just telling you how I feel – and I wanted you to know that I’m sorry for this news. I know you’ve all waited so long for the concerts and I appreciate your loyalty. By now I am convinced that you should be so fed up with all of this and waiting for so long. But all I can say is that I’m doing my very best to get back to the level that I need to be so that I can give 100 per cent at my shows – cos that’s what you deserve.”
Dion also thanked fans for their support, and also expressed her support for Ukraine at the end of the video. “I hope and pray that this war ends soon, Sending you all my love and prayers for peace.”
