CELINE DION CANCELS NORTH AMERICAN TOUR DATES, CITING MUSCLE SPASMS.

Chandrayee Roy Choudhury, Canada:

Céline 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.

Shows in four canadian cities — winnipeg, saskatoon, edmonton and vancouver — are among the 16 stops affected by the latest round of cancellations.

 Ticket holders of the cancelled performances will soon receive an email notification with more information. Tickets purchased with a credit card through authorized ticketing outlets will be automatically refunded to the card used for purchase.
