Courage World Tour - EU shows CANCELED

[Nmj]

 

 

Again- you misunderstand me. I don’t expect her to return. I was simply stating there was more of a chance of it happening if she was able to do public appearances. I’d also point out that even a tv interview would fall under those parameters, and we don’t know if her symptoms are indeed triggered by sound or light, as those are case by case basis and a decent few reports indicate patients who have no such sensitivity to light or sound.

 

Regardless, as I said; the days of what we saw on the courage tour are long gone even if she does return. And there is indeed a solid chance she will never return. And I think it would do us all well to possibly begin to come to peace with that

 

I’ve come to peace with it… I just hope and wish for Celine to be able to get the care she needs to hopefully live a quality life with her children and family….. and selfishly I’m so happy I’ve been able to see her live multiple times including one of her very last shows before the world shut down.

Even if Celine never performs concerts again (which I hope will not be the case), there will still be more to come in her career.

 

I hope she is getting better with treatments and surrounded by family and close friends.

Sorry I wasn't trying to say she has those triggers, just that she could. We don't know all her symptoms or what her triggers are or her severity. I'm just saying that with how little we know I wouldn't take anything she may do as a chance of anything more happening.

 

I'm keeping my expectations low (almost nonexistent) but hoping for the best for her. I hope we get some small update when she makes another tour announcement.

So is this how it ends? For The Céline Dion?

 

 

 

I hope there's more to come for her!!

 

Yep I do think it's all going to end now with this syndrome that she got diagnosed with...

 

From what I have read about Stiff Persons Syndrome, it is MUCH like Parkinson's Disease, but WORSE - because 1. It is more rare than Parkinson's. & 2. Parkinson's is a very rough illness as well (which had forced Michael J. Fox into an early retirement from acting years ago because of the struggles he has dealt with from Parkinson's,) but the Stiff Person Syndrome that Celine is dealing with is scarier than Parkinson's because the symptoms sound worse (a person's body eventually paralysing & "turning to stone-like" sounds REALLY TERRIFYING to me!) & plus the rareness & many unknowns about Celine's illness makes things worse as well.

 

As much I wish to remain hopeful & optimistic for Celine's sake, but I have a feeling Celine's will be going into the same direction as Michael J. Fox has - into early retirement from entertainment.

My idea is that of course she won’t proceed in August. Imo the only reason some shows are not cancelled yet because they are trying to find new dates in 2024. Imagine all the treatments she has to go through and then she would be on stage in August again? I highly doubt that. And like being mentioned here - if even a sound or lighteffect can trigger sudden paralyzed effects on her body, I highly doubt we will see her on stage anytime soon..not in 2024 and maybe never again.

Yea I just have a feeling that Celine is going to be forced into EARLY RETIREMENT because of this syndrome (just like Parkinson's Disease has done to Michael J. Fox, who just like Celine had a long & successful career, but he has struggled so much from Parkinson's,) & from what I have read about Stiff Persons Syndrome that is is very similar to Parkinson's but even worse & is much more rare than Parkinson's!

 

So sadly DO NOT be surprised if the remaining concerts are cancelled. & for the life in me, I DO NOT understand why her management just did not CANCEL EVERYTHING at this point as it is obvious she might not be able to perform concerts, record albums, etc ever again, (unless there is some contract crap that causes her not to be able to cancel all shows, which if that's the case, THAT IS REALLY SUCKY for Celine, because what if indeed, she is not able to perform ever again? Seriously they are not just going to keep postponing the show dates from a 3 year, almost 4 year old tour, are they?! That's ridiculous!

It may be caused by an antibody attacking a neurotransmitter called GAD, which is necessary for producing GABA. Basically, her body is losing its ability to produce GABA, the primary inhibitory neurotransmitter, due to an autoimmune attack on its chemical precursor. Treatment options seem to include anticonvulsants (to suppress glutaminergic transmission, meaning less GABA is required to inhibit the nervous system), benzodiazapenes to stimulate the GABA receptor (likely Valium or Klonopin), and blood filtration to temporarily flush the antibody. Scientists have also speculated that the cause of the disorder may be related to T-cells, so our best hope is that she undergoes an experimental stem cell therapy that succeeds in finding a cure for the disease.

 

Yes but stem cell treatments, while can be effective, can also be VERY DANGEROUS & VERY RISKY, & might not end up working right anyway depending on the disease it's supposed to be trying to treat.

 

Look at Christopher Reeve for instance (he was a famous actor who did the Superman movies from back in the 70s, ended up a Quadriplegic from a horse riding accident,) he did the stem cell treatments, but unfortunately it was too late for Christopher, & in fact those treatments had DETERIORATED HIM EVEN MORESO, & about 10 years later after his horse riding accident, Christopher passed away due to his severe health issues.

 

Now I am not saying any of this will necessarily happen in Celine's case, & I know her health issues & Christopher Reeve's health issues are different. But I am just saying that stem cell treatments do have that high risk & dangerous factor to them, & like other people on this forum has mentioned, doing those kind of treatments is pretty much "resetting the whole body's function", which can take a toll on a person's body, like what happened to Christopher Reeve, because a human's body (or animal's body) is NOT LIKE A COMPUTER!

We need to stay positive. If someone got cured in 2014 then Celine will! I refuse to believe she won’t perform again. She will come out of this stronger and on top of the world again, I just know. Maybe is delusional, but otherwise I couldn’t cope.

 

May I ask who "got cured" of the Stiff Persons Syndrome? Because I have read NUMEROUS articles & stories about this disease in the past few months, but I did NOT ever recall reading about anybody "getting cured" from SPS!

 

In fact I have read the opposite: that it is NOT CURABLE, similar to MS & Parkinson's, which neither of those diseases have cures either. So I am VERY CURIOUS as to where you have heard this, that's all. Because that might be THE ONLY TINY SHRED OF HOPE in this world left, for Celine & us fans!

Yea it is a very hard situation to deal with, I had cried too when I first heard about it in December. & Yes I have heard about it in December, not just now lol.

 

Just because I did not post on this silly forum about the announcement Celine made on the EXACT DAY it happened, DOES NOT MAKE ME A EVEN LESSER FAN OF CELINE'S! I have had ALOT OF STUFF going on in my own life during the past year, including loss of family members & grieving while managing work/raising 2 children, etc so I'm sorry that posting on this darn forum was not #1 priority for me 3 months ago!

 

& I do not know why people on this forum are being SOOO MEAN & RUDE to me because I am just posting about the shocking news right now instead of back in December, its ridiculous! I mean it was ONLY 3 months ago, NOT 3 years ago! So does it frickin matter now, no it should not! I mean seriously, one of our favorite & treasured singers, who this forum is named after, is most likely going to forced into early retirement because of her health issues! So we should all be trying to COME TOGETHER & help lift each other up, not tear each other down during these dark times, especially as there is no light at the end of this tunnel!

Wow you are SOOOO LUCKY to have gotten to see Celine in concert! Unfortunately, there are some of us fans, myself included, that will NEVER EVER get the pleasure or opportunity to see Celine in concert.

Yea but if she has lost the ability to sing (I have read several articles that stated the spasms of the muscle in her throat has caused issues with her being able to sing,) then it looks like her music career might possibly be over. Because she can not perform concerts or even record songs if she can not sing. & We all know Celine would never pull a "Milli Vanilli" & lip sync with somebody else voice! & Plus ALL of us fans & most of the general public can tell Celine's voice very easily! & there is NOBODY out there whose voice is like Celine's, not even any of the so-called "Celine impersonators!"

[RosieBarron]

Wow, just wow.

 

Sometimes you read posts on this forum and it is just a tidal wave of negativity. We can't change this situation, we just have to hope that they find a way to control her illness. In the meantime let's try and stay upbeat and support Celine.

Thanks for trying to be a positive Polly, but I am just being realistic, going by what I have read about this disease. There is NO CURE for Stiff Person's Syndrome, so far from what I have read about it, nobody has been cured from it & most of the people who suffer from it end up paralyzed & eventually "mummified & stone-like" where they will barely be able to walk or talk, much less being able to have a singing or acting career.

& Stiff Person's Syndrome is very similar to MS & Parkinson's, which both are also VERY destructive diseases as well. Look at Michael J. Fox & Linda Ronstadt, who both have to take early retirements from their careers because of Parkinson's! So as much as we would love to see her on stage or in the recording studios again, it looks like it might never happen again. & As much as it hurts all of us to "accept & make peace with it all", we might just have no choice, just like the fans of Michael's & Linda's have had to do, we are all in the same boat now with Celine as she battles this destructive illness with no cures in sight.

Everyone else here also has access to the internet and has googled SPI. We know there is no cure but equally it can be brought under control with various therapies which can vary from person to person. We just have to hope they can find a therapy Celine responds to.

**Comming soon there will be news.

Finally there will be no hypothesis, no more doubts!!

Stay tune everybody**

 

A week before the announcement.

 

How did you know?

[PuraVida]

The "X factor" here is that she has an amazing amount of money and is known around the world. Given who she is, and her resources, one might think she can get access to innovative, groundbreaking treatments or even spur the medical community to rally around new approaches to this illness.

 

But medical research often takes way more money & investment than even one extremely wealth person can muster. And who knows how many years that may take?

 

But I feel that in some way, some day...she will go on stage and sing....in some capacity, at least one song. Might even be a videotaped farewell performance without a live audience. Who knows

Of course Celine will be on stage again. I have absolutely no doubts about it. It’s a matter of time.

Celine’s team is promoting a 50% off sale on a courage tour T-shirt… makes me think they are trying to get rid of the stuff because the tour is eventually gonna be scrapped totally.

If I am being realistic I expect cancellation, but I have little hope there will be a miracle and she will perform in Amsterdam! After all these years I managed to get a second row seat and I hope that dream comes true, but I doubt it….

[KyleVan41]

I think writing is on wall this tour will be scrapped. No way she’s heading out this year - or likely ever !

[Alex_Incognito]

or likely ever !

 

It's a bit premature to be talking about forever.

That was their message before Celine's announcement.

 

However, Dreamy has left the forum (they made a post aboit it).

[scielle]

They wouldn’t post this if they knew she’s not coming, right?

Right?!
