As the medical condition is affecting her ability to walk and even to sing, Dion said she wouldn’t be able to carry on with her February tour around Europe
The singer said that a “great team of doctors” and her sport-medicine therapist are helping her, working on rebuilding her strength and ability to return on stages.

Dion thanked her children and her fans for supporting her throughout her illness.
