Australian Tour Will Go Ahead On New Schedule
Due to a continuing illness Celine Dion will not be able to perform at her Sydney concerts tonight & tomorrow night.
Since arriving in Australia Celine has been suffering from a respiratory tract infection which has caused bronchial and laryngeal inflammation.
As the illness has not fully responded to treatment with appropriate antibiotics, inhaled therapy and rest, earlier today Celine was examined by a prominent Sydney respiratory specialist who has advised that with a further 48 hours of treatment and rest she will make a complete recovery and can resume performing at her best.
Accordingly it will be necessary to reschedule the Sydney and Perth performances.
The Sydney concerts will now be performed on Saturday April 5 & Sunday April 6 at Acer Arena.
The Perth concert will be performed on Tuesday, April 8 at Members Equity Stadium.
The Brisbane and Melbourne concerts will go ahead on the revised dates previously announced.
"I've been looking forward to doing these shows for so long... I'm really sorry to disappoint my fans this weekend... but I can't wait to see them on the new dates", Celine said earlier today.
Celine's Australian tour itinerary will now become:
BRISBANE ENTERTAINMENT CENTRE MONDAY MARCH 31 (was Wed March 26)
MELBOURNE ROD LAVER ARENA WEDNESDAY APRIL 2 (was Tues April 1)
SYDNEY ACER ARENA SATURDAY APRIL 5 (was Fri March 28)
