“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,” she continued. “Now, I have to focus on getting better… I want to get through this as soon as I can.”
John Meglen, President and Co-CEO of Concerts West/AEG Presents, said in a statement that the new show dates would be announced “whenever Céline is ready.”
“Céline is family to us, and the most important thing now is for her to focus on feeling better,” Meglen said. “In our two-decade long relationship with Céline, 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.”
