Celine Dion cancels ‘Courage’ world tour due to neurological illness
Celine Dion has cancelled her 2024 ‘Courage’ world tour dates due to a neurological illness she first disclosed last year.In late 2022, the legendary singer confirmed that she has been living with a disorder called stiff person syndrome, an extremely rare autoimmune neurological condition that affects one person in a million.After the singer postponed her European tour dates to February 2023 due to “ongoing health issues”, she then pushed them back again to 2024, admitting she “wasn’t ready” to disclose details of her condition previously.Now, the 2024 dates have been cancelled, with Dion saying in a statement that she’s “heartbroken” about the decision.“It’s not fair to you to keep postponing the shows, and even though it breaks my heart, it’s best that we cancel everything now until I’m really ready to be back on stage again,” she told fans.“I want you all to know, I’m not giving up… and I can’t wait to see you again!”She added: “I’m so sorry to disappoint all of you once again.
