She also added that her “recovery is taking longer than she hoped”.
Celine Dion had been due to start the North America part of her "Courage" World Tour in Denver on March 9. They also confirmed that the dates have been cancelled, but the tickets bought will be refunded.
“I was really hoping that I’d be good to go by now, but I suppose I just have to be more patient and follow the regimen that my doctors are prescribing. There’s a lot of organising and preparation that goes into our shows, and so we have to make decisions today which will affect the plans two months down the road", the Canadian singer shared via Instagram.
“I’ll be so glad to get back to full health, as well as all of us getting past this pandemic, and I can’t wait to be back on stage again. Meanwhile, I’ve been very touched by all the words of encouragement that everyone’s been sending to me on social media. I feel your love and support and it means the world to me".
