Dion, 53, postponed all of her performances at the Resorts World Theatre in Las Vegas from Nov. 5 to Feb. 5, citing “unforeseen medical symptoms” that have prohibited her from participating in rehearsals, according to a news release.
“I’m heartbroken by this,” Dion, a Grammy-winning singer, wrote in a statement. “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.”
She continued: “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.”
Dion’s Courage World Tour is expected to resume March 9, the release said. Ticket holders for the canceled dates will automatically be refunded.
