With needed time to recover from recent injuries, Paula Abdul was forced to cancel her upcoming Straight Up! to Canada Tour originally scheduled to launch in Victoria, British Columbia on September 25 thru October 26.
Taking to social media on Wednesday (9.04,) the superstar singer/dancer posted a message on X where she announced that all shows had been cancelled due to undergoing a “minor procedure,” writing:
“It’s with an incredibly heavy heart that I need to share with you an update regarding some injuries I’ve recently sustained. In an effort to keep going, I’ve received targeted injections that will allow me to 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.”
Extending her “deepest apologies” to all of her fans in Canada and the United States and confirming refunds would be available at the point of purchase, the now 62-year old Abdul added:
“I’ve been looking forward to the energy, love, and connection we always share when we’re together. 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.” “Thank you for your love, your patience, and your understanding during this time. With all my love and gratitude.”
