Celine Dion's UK tour still scheduled despite singer cancelling US shows

The singer Celine Dion has reportedly cancelled the North American leg of her Courage world tour ahead of its European leg starting in the UK in May.

The 53-year-old, who is said to be suffering from "severe and persistent muscle spasms", was due to tour the states in support of her 12th English-language studio album in the spring.

According to the New Zealand Herald, she has pulled the plug as she continues to recover from her health issues.

In a statement posted to her official website, she said: "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 My Heart Will Go On star had reportedly performed 52 dates of the tour across America before it was halted due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

The European leg of the Canadian singer's world tour is still scheduled to begin May 25 in Birmingham before heading to AO Arena in Manchester and London's O2 Arena.
