“Well, here we are again and I’m so sorry we have to change our tour plans for Europe one more time. First, we had to move the shows because of the pandemic, now this is my health issues that is causing us to postpone some shows and unfortunately we have to cancel some too,” Dion began, before sharing that the “good news” is she’s “doing a little bit better.”

The singer added that her recovery is “going very slow” and “it’s very frustrating for me.”

“I’m getting treatment from my doctors, taking medication, but I’m still experiencing some spasms and it’s taking a lot longer for me to recover than I had hoped,” she said, expressing that she needs to be in “top shape” to perform.

Dion has been open about her struggle with “severe and persistent muscle spasms which are preventing her from performing," since January, when she had to cancel the North American leg of her tour.

“I’m just not there yet,” she said in her video on Friday. “I wanted you to know that I’m sorry for this news. I know you’ve all waited so long for the concerts, and I appreciate your loyalty.”

The "My Heart Will Go On" crooner stressed that she’s doing her “very best to get back to the level that I need to be so that I can give 100 percent at my shows ’cause that’s what you deserve.”
