Paula Abdul cancels Canadian tour dates

Paula Abdul has cancelled her Straight Up! To Canada Tour set to take place this fall.

The singer and dancer made the announcement late Wednesday on social media.

Abdul said she recently sustained multiple injuries, including one that requires a minor procedure.

The procedure includes a recovery time of between six and eight weeks, she said.

“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,” Abdul said in the post.

“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.”

Abdul’s 21-stop tour was due to kick off in Victoria, B.C., on Sept. 25 and include stops in Winnipeg, Man., Thunder Bay, Ont., Saint John, N.B., Truro N.S., and Sydney N.S.

She has also cancelled performances in Alaska on Sept. 21 and North Dakota on Oct. 12.
