Celine Dion has cancelled the North American leg of her Courage world tour.
The 53-year-old singer - who is reportedly suffering from "severe and persistent muscle spasms" - was due to tour the states in support of her 12th English-language studio album from April 2021 but 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."
