Celine Dion Cancels 2022 North American Tour Dates Due to Health Concerns

Celine Dion is bringing her Courage World Tour to an early end in the United States and Canada. The singer shared the unfortunate news with fans on Saturday, saying that she would need to spend the spring recovering from “severe and persistent muscle spasms” inhibiting her ability to perform.

“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,” Dion said in a statement. “There’s a lot of organizing 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. 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.” – Source

$3.7 million for cancer research used to buy Lady Gaga, Celine Dion tickets, feds say

Millions of dollars donated to a major cancer research foundation backed by big names in the music industry were embezzled over two years to pay for concert tickets and sporting events, prosecutors said. Now the foundation’s former vice president is facing federal charges. Melissa Goodwin was charged with wire fraud in the Middle District of Tennessee on Tuesday, Jan. 18, the U.S. Attorney’s Office said. From 2018 to 2020, the 55-year-old from Nashville served as the executive vice president and general manager of the T.J. Martell Foundation. She was fired after higher-ups discovered a trail of inconsistent financial statements.

The T.J. Martell Foundation is described on its website as the “music industry’s leading foundation” for cancer research. It was started in 1975 by American music executive Tony Martell in honor of his son. – Source
