New York, NY (Top40 Charts) As
Celine Dion has been preparing for the November 5 opening of her brand-new show in the beautiful, new Resorts World Theatre in Las Vegas, unforeseen medical symptoms have forced the singer to delay the opening and cancel the performances scheduled November 5 to 20, 2021 and January 19 to February 5, 2022.
Celine 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.
"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."
"Celine is family to us, and the most important thing now is for her to focus on feeling better," said John Meglen, President and Co-CEO of Concerts West/AEG Presents. "In our two-decade long relationship with Celine, we've certainly learned how dedicated and resilient she is, and that she is most happy when she's on stage doing what she loves most, performing for her fans. We're ready to announce new Las
Vegas show dates whenever
Celine is ready."
"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."
