Celine Dion cancels shows for surgery
Singer said medication was no longer helping treat her ear condition
Canadian superstar Celine Dion has cancelled a stretch of concerts in Las Vegas as she undergoes surgery for an ear condition.
Dion, who turns 50 later this month, said she has been suffering from Patulous Eustachian tube, when a middle opening in the ear is abnormally open, affecting hearing.
The singer said that her medication was no longer succeeding in treating the condition, requiring her to undergo a “minimally invasive surgical procedure.”
She cancelled shows set from March 27 to April 18 at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace. Dion, who last performed at the casino in January, will resume her performances on May 22.
“My luck hasn’t been very good lately,” said Dion, whose husband and longtime manager Rene Angelil died in 2016.
“I apologise to everyone who planned to travel to Las Vegas to see my show.
“I know how disappointing this is, and I’m so sorry,” Dion wrote on Facebook late on Wednesday.
