Paula Abdul has announced that her Straight Up! To Canada Tour has been canceled. The 21-city trek was set to start on September 25 in Victoria, British Columbia, with scheduled opening acts Taylor Dayne and Tiffany. Abdul also revealed her shows in Anchorage on September 21 and Fargo on October 12 are off. The two-time Grammy winner made the announcement on Instagram on Wednesday (September 4). “
It’s with an incredibly heavy heart that I need to share with you an update regarding some injuries I’ve recently sustained,” Abdul shared. “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. 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. 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.” Rescheduled dates have not been announced. (People)
