Celine Dion is delaying the opening of her new show in the new Resorts World Theatre in Las Vegas due to unforeseen medical symptoms, promoter AEG Presents announced on Tuesday morning. The affected performances run from November 5 to 20, 2021 and January 19 to February 5, 2022.

According to the announcement, the singer has been experiencing “severe and persistent muscle spasms” which are preventing her from performing. Her medical team continues to evaluate and treat her. However, the symptoms she is experiencing are prohibiting her from participating in the ongoing rehearsals for the new show. Dion’s “Courage” world tour is still scheduled to launch on March 9, 2022, so it’s unclear when the Resorts shows may be rescheduled.

“I’m heartbroken by this,” said Celine. “My team and I have been working on our new show for the past eight months, and to not be able to open this November saddens me beyond words. My partners at Resorts World Las Vegas and AEG have been working around the clock to get this brand-new state-of-the-art theatre ready, and it’s absolutely beautiful. I feel so bad that I’m letting them down, and I’m especially sorry for disappointing all the fans who’ve been making their plans to come to Las Vegas. Now, I have to focus on getting better… I want to get through this as soon as I can.”

“If there’s anything these trying times have taught us, it’s that nothing is more important than your wellbeing,” said Scott Sibella, President of Resorts World Las Vegas. “While we are eager to debut the theatre, we support Celine in what we know was an incredibly difficult decision to delay her shows. On behalf of the entire Resorts World Las Vegas family, we wish her a speedy recovery and look forward to welcoming her to her new home when she feels ready and able to perform again.”

This is really sad I hope she gets better!! I was really close to getting tickets to see her, I’m glad I didn’t now.

I am sure she must be devastated, performing is everything for her. Just overall a sad situation for her and the fans.
