Pop icon Celine Dion has canceled all of her remaining shows scheduled for 2023-24, saying she wasn’t strong enough to tour while battling a rare neurological disorder.
Last year, the 55-year-old Canadian revealed that her condition, Stiff Person Syndrome, was affecting her singing.
“So sorry to let you all down once again…and even though it breaks my heart, we better call the whole thing off until I’m truly ready to go back on stage,” Dion tweeted.
“I won’t give up…and I can’t wait to see you again!” she added.
A statement released by her tour read: “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.”
I hope you get better soon. I saw your concert in 2017 and it was one of the best days of my life! A dream come true, really. I am looking forward to seeing you again on stage. Until then, please continue to take good care of yourself.

One of the best singers with an octave-breaking voice, Dion is the author of hits like Because You Loved Me, My Heart Will Go On and Think Twice.
In December 2022, she posted a tearful video on Instagram to say that she had recently been diagnosed with stiff person syndrome and that she would not be ready to start her European tour in February as planned.
She said the disorder was causing muscle spasms and “wouldn’t allow me to use my vocal cords to sing the way I’m used to.”
Patients often experience stiffness in the muscles of the torso, arms and legs, and noise or emotional distress have been known to trigger spasms.
The cancellations will affect his 16-country European tour, which was due to kick off in Amsterdam in August and conclude with two dates at London’s O2 Arena in April next year.
Her “Courage World Tour” began in 2019, and Dion completed 52 shows before the coronavirus pandemic put the rest on hold. He later canceled the North American leg of the tour due to his health problems.
Fans online reacted with disappointment, but wished Dion well.
Love, peace, strength and healing to you. We like you just the way you are. ❤️

“Not surprising, but no less sad. Cheer up, Celine, we’re with you,” wrote a fan information account @LesRedHeads.
“You don’t have to apologize queen! Take care of yourself. Your health should be the number one priority,” she wrote @notaerz.
Dion, the youngest of 14 children, was born in Quebec, Canada, and began at 12, when her mother sent a recording of her to Angelil, who mortgaged her own home to finance her first album. She started out singing in French, but began yelling hits in English after taking English classes in the 1980s.
He gained worldwide fame in 1997 with My Heart Will Go On, the theme to the extremely popular James Cameron film Titanic.
She turned that success into a regular concert at Caesar’s Palace in Las Vegas, playing to audiences night after night for 16 years, with only a few breaks.
