Canadian musician Celine Dion has been forced to cancel her European tour owing to a health-related issue as she confirmed the news.
Dion is a multi-award-winning musician and she was scheduled to tour Europe in February next year, but because she is suffering from a rare neurological disorder, she has to cancel.
The seasoned vocalist and one of the best who ever graced the music scene, Dion says it hurts her that she cannot be able to wow her fans in Europe as she cannot sing.
Dion cancelled and postponed a series of European shows on Thursday over problems related to a rare neurological disorder that is badly affecting her singing.
“Recently I have been diagnosed with a very rare neurological disorder called ‘stiff person syndrome’ which affects something like one in a million people,” the Canadian diva said.
“It has been causing spasms that “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’m used to.
“It hurts me to tell you today that this means I won’t be ready to restart my tour in Europe in February.”
The 54-year-old musician known for hits such as My Heart Will Go On and Immortality is supported by her kids and a team of medical professionals to improve her condition, but she said she is struggling.
“All I know is singing, it’s what I’ve done all my life and it’s what I love to do the most,” she added as she broke into tears.
“I miss seeing all of you, being on the stage, performing for you.”
Her spring dates in European countries, which were due to begin in the Czech Republic in February, have been postponed to 2024 while eight of her summer shows have been cancelled entirely.
