Musicians Morgan Wallen, Justin Bieber, Celine Dion among stars canceling tours for health struggles

Morgan Wallen is the latest high-profile artist to cancel a tour due to health struggles. On Tuesday, the 29-year-old country music singer announced in an Instagram video he was postponing six weeks of his "One Night At A Time" world tour after receiving "bad news" from his doctors at Vanderbilt Voice Center. "After taking 10 days of vocal rest, I performed three shows last weekend in Florida, and by the third one, I felt terrible," Wallen said. "So, I went in and got scoped yesterday, and they told me that I reinjured my vocal cords and that I have vocal fold trauma. Their advice is that I go on vocal rest for six weeks, so that’s what I’m going to do." MORGAN WALLEN CANCELS 6 WEEKS OF SHOWS AFTER ‘BAD NEWS’ FROM DOCTORS The "Last Night" hitmaker added that his doctors had advised him not to speak at all during that time period but said it was OK for him to speak briefly to make a short announcement to his fans. "We’re working on rescheduling all the dates during this time frame," he added. "We’ve almost got that done, but some of ’em are pending, so I’ll keep you updated. I won’t be able to make these festivals that I have during this time frame, but we are gonna make those right in the next year."

He was replaced by Jason Aldean at the event, which raises funds for the ACM's philanthropic partner Lifting Lives, an organization that works to improve lives through the power of music. "But y’all make sure you still go. It’s for a great cause," he added. "They told me that if I do this the right way, I’ll get back to 100 percent, and they also said that if I don’t listen and I keep singing, then I’ll permanently damage my voice. "So, for the longevity of my career, this is just a choice I had to make," he continued. "I hate it, but I love you guys, and I appreciate all the support that you always given me." Wallen concluded his video by telling his fans, "I’ll see you soon, and I’ll be back better than ever. God bless you." MORGAN WALLEN CANCELS CONCERT AFTER OPENING ACT, FANS FURIOUS The singer angered fans last month when he abruptly pulled out of a concert following the opening act and just minutes before he was to perform for almost 60,000 at Ole Miss Stadium in Oxford, Mississippi. In a statement, Wallen told his fans that he had lost his voice and apologized for canceling the performance at the last minute. The singer's announcement comes after a number of headliners have bowed out of scheduled performances and tours as they battle health struggles. Here's a look at other musicians who have canceled future appearances due to ongoing medical conditions. Celine Dion stunned fans in December when she revealed in an emotional statement that she had been diagnosed with an incurable neurological disorder. "As you know, I've always been an open book," the 55-year-old singer said through tears at the beginning of her Instagram video. "And I wasn't ready to say anything before — but I'm ready now. I've been dealing with problems with my health for a long time. And it's been really difficult for me to face these challenges and talk about everything that I've been going through." The Canada native shared that she had been diagnosed with stiff person syndrome, which she noted "affects something like one in a million people." Stiff person syndrome (SPS) is defined by the Cleveland Clinic as "a rare autoimmune movement disorder that affects the central nervous system (the brain and spinal cord). People with this condition first experience a stiffening of the muscles of their trunk followed, over time, by the development of stiffness and rigidity in the legs and other muscles in the body." Dion told her fans she had been experiencing problems with her mobility, and the condition also affected her voice.

"Unfortunately, these spasms affect every aspect of my daily life, sometimes causing difficulties when I walk and not allowing me to use my vocal cords to sing the way I'm used to." The "My Heart Will Go On" songstress explained that she was forced to postpone the European leg of her tour to focus on her health. "It hurts me to tell you today that this means I won't be ready to restart my tour in Europe in February," Dion said. "I have a great team of doctors working alongside me to help get better and my precious children, who are supporting me and giving me hope." CELINE DION REVEALS INCURABLE NEUROLOGICAL DISORDER DIAGNOSIS IN EMOTIONAL VIDEO In January 2022, Dion announced she was canceling the rest of the North American tour dates on her "Courage" tour due to "severe and persistent muscle spasms" that left her unable to perform. "I'm working hard with my sports medicine therapist every day to build back my strength and my ability to perform again," Dion said. "But I have to admit it's been a struggle. All I know is singing. It's what I've done all my life. And it's what I love to do the most."  Dion fought back tears as she directly addressed her fans , saying, "I miss you so much. I miss seeing all of you — being on the stage, performing for you. "I always give 100 percent when I do my shows," she added. "But my condition is not allowing me to give you that right now. For me to reach you again, I have no choice but to concentrate on my health at this moment." "And I have hope that I'm on the road to recovery. This is my focus. And I'm doing everything that I can to recuperate." Following her announcement, Dion's tour dates for Feb. 24 to April 11, 2023, were rescheduled for March 6 to April 22, 2024, and her summer performances from May 31 to July 17, 2023, were canceled.

"I think it's a wonderful feel-good story, and I hope that people will like it and like the new songs too."  Dion's return to her residency on the Las Vegas Strip next year also remains a possibility.

The Las Vegas Review-Journal reported Monday that the venue had held open dates for May to coincide with the opening of "Love Again," However, Dion is not expected to make her long-awaited premiere until 2024. Justin Bieber announced last September he was canceling his "Justice" world tour to focus on his health.

"After getting off the stage, the exhaustion overtook me and I realized that I need to make my health the priority right now," he said. "So I'm going to take a break from touring for the time being.

"As you can see, this eye is not blinking," he said in the video, pointing to his eye. "I can't smile on this side of my face. This nostril will not move. So there's full paralysis on this side of my face." The syndrome "occurs when a shingles outbreak affects the facial nerve near one of your ears," according to the Mayo Clinic.
