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.

I’m working really hard to build back my strength, but touring can be very difficult even when you’re 100 per cent.”See the list of cancelled dates below.AUGUST 2023 26 – Amsterdam, Ziggo Dome27 – Amsterdam, Ziggo Dome29 – Amsterdam, Ziggo DomeSEPTEMBER 2023 17 – Antwerp, Sportpaleis18 – Antwerp, Sportpaleis20 – Antwerp, Sportpaleis23 – Copenhagen, Royal Arena24 – Copenhagen, Royal Arena27 – Oslo, Telenor Arena28 – Oslo, Telenor Arena30 – Stockholm, Friends ArenaOCTOBER 2023 3 – Helsinki, Hartwall Arena4 – Helsinki, Hartwall ArenaMARCH 2024 6 – Prague, O2 Arena 8 – Lodz, Atlas Arena 10 – Krakow, Tauron Arena13 – Zurich, Hallenstadion Zurich 14 – Zurich, Hallenstadion Zurich 16 – Zagreb, Zagreb Arena19 – Cologne, Lanxess Arena21 – Berlin,.
