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 onstage again. I want you all to know, I’m not giving up … And I can’t wait to see you again!”

The remaining 2023 tour dates had been scheduled to run from Aug. 26 in Amsterdam via Oct. 4 in Helsinki, Finland; then from March 6, 2024, in Prague via April 22, 2024, in London. Tickets bought for the canceled dates could be refunded by way of the unique level of sale, in keeping with the assertion.

Before the pandemic paused Dion’s tour in March 2020, she had accomplished the first 52 dates of the tour, in North America. “Unfortunately, these spasms affect every aspect of my daily life sometimes causing difficulties when I walk and not allowing me to use my vocal cords to sing the way I am used to,” she stated in the video posted final yr.

Dion could be seen in her first characteristic film function, alongside Priyanka Chopra Jonas and Sam Heughan, in the romantic comedy-drama “Love Again,” which was launched this month.
