Courage World Tour - EU shows CANCELED

[Celinelife]

I recently read in @celinedionwebmusic account on instagram, that someone(I don't remember the name), said that Celine will not return till September, they are trying to push her to September or something

[joaofilho]

I read that too, but we don't know anything, if she cancels the entire turner it will be frustrating, but why would she cancel??

[Celinelife]

I'm more worried about her if she cancels the tour,it will take on her mental health, god forbids anything bad like weight loss happens to hee

No, I think what it is saying is that Celine is still on for the Paris shows in September. That’s what I’m picking up from the way it’s written in French. It mentions the shows have been pushed back because of Covid but that she is right now, still scheduled to go on at the La Defense Arena. It doesn’t say she’s canceling everything until September at all. It’s all hinging on her health, but I hope she will come back strong in may!

Think you’ve misunderstood. All that is a post re. today’s reporting that a rep from Paris Defense Arena said her Sept show there are still on schedule as planned. Not that she’s not returning until Sept.

I guess my translation showed a different meaning, but thank you. Yea I hope she does her European Leg, she looks like she can stand.

If they follow a similar timeline and if Europe is cancelled, we should hear about it end of March / start of April. Think the US cancellation was 7/8 weeks in advance?

 

I wonder if her being out and about is a good sign?

That would fit with the idea that they'll cancel in each quarter. Time will tell.

The European shows will be cancelled/postponed only if she is still unwell, but if she can perform I’m sure it will happen. Most countries are lifting restrictions and if this pandemic behaves like others, by summer more Europeans will be inmune. Most artists are planning summer tours, so there is not reason for Celine not to perform because of covid. They didn’t postponed the American shows again because she is committed to Vegas in the fall, I’m sure of this. Otherwise they would have postponed most likely.

They also want the fans around the world to have more incentive to travel to Vegas and fill those seats. So I wouldn’t be shocked if they CANCEL the remainder of the CWT. It’s more safe that way for numerous reasons…due to the risk of

covid and the likelihood of a fan traveling to Vegas to see her if there isn’t any shows in their own countries as well. If I lived in Europe and Celine came to me in 2023, I wouldn’t be rushing to head to Vegas to see her again anytime soon if I were in that situation, but that’s my thinking.

Now I do have a question,, if the tour DOES end up going on as planned, She would have to start training her Voice to get it up to par and they/ her band would have to rehearsal somewhere , I can diff see this tour continue on, Cause things are really looking up here in the states ,

I don't think that's the case. For he last show she agreed she would do Vegas as long as she was allowed to tour other parts of the world. The Vegas audience is not only fans, most are just people that are in Vegas for the weekend or whatever and want to see a good show. I'm still convinced that if she is well, these shows will happen. Also, most of American leg had already happened, but the European leg hasn't even started, there is a lot of money in tickets here.

I think the european leg will take place. Only Spring/summer dates, it is safe. And the America will get the Vegas show. A residency Céline should would be a two months residency at the Olympia in Paris (july and August), with two setlists in french and english. It would be a huge, huge success and fans from everywhere would Come.

[browseceline]

I actually don’t think so. I think her muscle spasms and maybe even other conditions we don’t know of are still going on and prevent her from touring and Vegas.

It is probably already decided, and the cancellation will happen... Unfortunately for my front row ticket for Budapest... But my opinion is that the Courage wt is already done, they just havent went publicly, for the well known reasons of refunding too much money at once ...

We really don't know how bad her condition is - they've been so quiet about it. (Which is their/her right.) But I'd be shocked if the European leg happens. I bet CWT (which is now 2 1/2 years old and named after an album that tanked and was forgotten) will just be canceled outright. She'll reemerge in Vegas whenever she's better and then go to Europe/Asia during her summers.

[idroveallnight]

They probably want to hold her out for an epic comeback in Vegas where they can charge $1K per ticket and get swarms of international fans who didn’t get to see her in their countries to fly over and jumpstart the Vegas economy.

[Celinelife]

To me, personally Courage was never "tanked and forgotten" it is obviously one of her best albums ever. It is the only album in the last two decades which will hit 100 million streams in Spotify soon.

 

It is also one of the most remembered albums. It was nominated for JUNOS, won Webby award, it topped 200 charts(though then went downhill).

I can imagine a number of reasons to cancel the tour.

But I doubt there's a financial incentive.

 

Live shows (in Vegas and other places) currently have a much harder time selling out.

In fact, I really wonder how well the cancelled dates were selling (AXS doesn't release all tickets at once, so who knows how much were actually sold?)

The golden era of live shows seems to be over, at least for now.

 

So on one hand, you have CWT: 50 shows with a guaranteed attendance of 20.000-30.000 ticket holders (mostly sold-out long before Covid).

On the other hand, you have the residency: Approx. 25 shows with max. 4200 attendance with uncertain sales.

 

Even keeping the difference in overhead into account, anyone would advise against cancelling CWT in favour of a residency (from a financial point of view).

 

I also don't understand the "Courage era is over" argument.

As if the general public actually cares that they were going to see the Courage tour specifically?

TC could silently change the name to "Céline Dion Live 2022" and no one would bat an eye.

On a personal level, I feel the theme of "Courage" resonates even more today than it did in 2019. So I do hope they keep the name.

Courage had a great one week run. Then it had the biggest drop on the charts in history. That's called tanking and a flop. Courage is my favorite album of hers since ANDHC. That doesn't make it a success though. Would the general public be able to name ANY song off of the album? Possibly Imperfections but that would be it. (With the exception of Courage because, you know, it's the name of the album.)

Imperfections.

Whatever it is, it's fan favourite, and quite a lot of public know this album, even if it is just by the name.

Pepe has been posting Celine pictures on his Facebook today, one of the posts says something like get ready Europe, she is coming 🤔

There's a lot of fake Pepe-accounts out there, for whatever reason.

Don't think he even has a public one.

Could be, I trusted this one is him cause Barnev is also a friend and he has many pictures and videos different from the Instagram ones. But who knows, maybe is a fake account

Her team on Sony is to blame for the lack of proper promotion when the album was released. They promoted it 6 months before the actual release, which was ridiculous. When it was eventually released, she appeared on 2 major tv shows and that was it.

Yes, of course you're right. I meant to say he doesn't have a public Facebook-account, silly me.

All true! And the reasons it flopped. Plus, as we all remember, she got sick and had to cancel weeks of promotion when the album was released. There are many reasons why the album flopped. But it flopped hard!
