Paula Abdul has been forced to cancel her upcoming Straight Up! To Canada Tour.
In a post to her social accounts, Abdul explained heartbreak over cancelling the shows, however, due to injuries she cannot perform up to her standards.
“It’s with an incredibly heavy heart that I need to share with you an update regarding some injuries I’ve recently sustained,” she wrote. “In an effort to keep going, I’ve received targeted injections that will allow me temporary relief, but the demands of an entire tour is a different story.
“After multiple consultations with my doctors and exploring all available options, I’ve been advised that one of my injuries requires a minor procedure followed by a 6-8 week recovery time, therefore it will prohibit me from proceeding with the Straight Up! To Canada Tour as well as the dates in Alaska and North Dakota,” she added.
“I want to extend my deepest apologies to all my amazing fans in Canada and the US, you mean the world to me and this truly breaks my heart. I promise I’ll be back, stronger and better, dancing my heart out and performing for all of you very soon, to give you the show you deserve.”
The note added that refunds will be available at the point of purchase.
Straight Up! To Canada was set to kick off in Victoria, BC on September, with 21 dates across Canada, finishing up in Sydney, NS on October 26.
Paula Abdul recently stopped by the iHeartRadio Canada studio where she shared her excitement about the upcoming tour dates. Watch it below.
Thank you for your love, your patience, and your understanding during this time.
