Céline Dion will no longer tour Canada this fall due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The Canadian icon, 52, confirmed Wednesday that the rest of her Courage world tour dates have been rescheduled until 2021.
Dion previously postponed the European leg of her tour to 2021 at the start of the novel coronavirus outbreak, but as cases continue to surge around the world, Dion has decided to reschedule her entire Courage tour until 2021.
