MONTREAL -- Just weeks before Céline Dion was set to return to the stage in Las Vegas, the Quebec superstar is delaying her show due to "unforeseen medical symptoms," her team said in a news release.
She is cancelling her performances scheduled for Nov. 5 to 20, 2021 and Jan. 19. to Feb. 5, 2022 at the Resorts World Theatre.
Dion's medical team has been treating her for "severe and persistent" muscle spasms that are preventing her from participating in ongoing rehearsals for the new show.
"I'm heartbroken by this," said Dion in the release.
"My team and I have been working on our new show for the past eight months, and to not be able to open this November saddens me beyond words. My partners at Resorts World Las Vegas and AEG have been working around the clock to get this brand-new state-of-the-art theatre ready, and it's absolutely beautiful. I feel so bad that I'm letting them down, and I'm especially sorry for disappointing all the fans who've been making their plans to come to Las Vegas. Now, I have to focus on getting better… I want to get through this as soon as I can."
The singer is still set to continue her Courage World Tour on March 9, 2022. The tour was was slated to resume this summer but was postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
