Celine Dion won’t be resuming her anticipated “Courage World Tour” this March after all.

A post on the Canadian singer’s website says the tour’s remaining North American shows have been cancelled as her recovery from “severe and persistent muscle spasms” takes longer than first hoped.

Dion called off a slate of new Las Vegas show dates in October just weeks before they were supposed to begin due to muscle spasms that her management said were preventing her from performing.

At that time, she was still planning to resume touring in 2022.

Shows in four Canadian cities — Winnipeg, Saskatoon, Edmonton and Vancouver — are among the 16 stops affected by the latest round of cancellations.

Dion’s post says she had completed the first 52 shows on the “Courage” tour before the COVID-19 pandemic emerged in March 2020.
