Céline Dion has officially canceled the entire remainder of her Courage World Tour. Dion had already completed 52 concerts on the North American leg of her tour when COVID-19 halted live shows in March 2020.

Dion wrote on social media alongside a press release listing some of 42 affected tour stops: “I’m so sorry to disappoint all of you once again. I’m working really hard to build back my strength, but touring can be difficult even when you’re 100%.  It’s not fair to you to keep postponing the shows, and even though it breaks my heart, it’s best that we cancel everything now until I’m really ready to be back on stage again. I want you all to know, I’m not giving up … and I can’t wait to see you again!” According to Dion’s post, those who purchased tickets for any of the 42 canceled shows will be fully refunded.

Dion revealed in December that she was diagnosed with stiff-person syndrome, “a rare, progressive neurological disorder” that can stiffen leg, arm and torso muscles — and cause severe muscle spasms. The condition can be so debilitating that many can develop a hunched posture that eventually prevents them from walking or independently moving entirely. The syndrome can also lead to frequent falls as a result of normal reflexes being impeded by stiffened muscles. Stiff-person syndrome affects roughly one in a million people.

Kelly Clarkson released the single and music video for the song “Favorite Kind of High”.

The video for “Favorite Kind of High” shows the 41-year-old singer and television personality performing the song live at the Belasco theater in Los Angeles. Clarkson shares that the track captures a happier moment in her relationship with her ex-husband Brandon Blackstock, from whom she split in 2020: “I don’t want just some sad, I just got divorced and my life sucks, dumpster fire record. Now that’s in there, but I wanted it to be about the whole relationship. One thing I have learned, in a lot of therapy, is it’s not about just the bad. It was a whole thing. It doesn’t mean everything is bad. There’s nothing like that high when you first see someone.”

Singer Tina Turner has died at age 83. Turner died peacefully after a long illness in her home in Küsnacht near Zurich, Switzerland (Turner became a Swiss citizen a decade ago). Turner’s manager said in a statement posted to social media: “It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Tina Turner. With her music and her boundless passion for life, she enchanted millions of fans around the world and inspired the stars of tomorrow. Today we say goodbye to a dear friend who leaves us all her greatest work: her music. All our heartfelt compassion goes out to her family. Tina, we will miss you dearly.” 

Born Anna Mae Bullock, Tina got her start after moving to St. Louis when she was 16. She became involved in the music scene and met her future husband, Ike Turner. Tina and Ike were married in 1962, and he changed her name to Tina Turner; she became the lead vocalist for what became known as the Ike & Tina Turner Revue. They went on to become a huge success together, releasing hits like “Proud Mary” and “Get Back.”

Ike was physically abusive to his wife throughout their entire relationship, and controlled their finances and trademarked Tina’s name – so she had no access to her own income. Tina eventually filed for divorce in 1976 and went on to sign with Capitol Records, with whom she would release a number of popular songs, including her iconic 1984 album, Private Dancer. The single “What’s Love Got to Do with It” won the GRAMMY for Record of the Year in 1985.nTina released nine full-length studio albums, winning eight GRAMMYs, three GRAMMY Hall of Fame Awards and the GRAMMY Lifetime Achievement Award. She was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame twice — the first time in 1991 with Ike, and the second time in 2021, weeks ahead of her 82nd birthday.

In 1986, Tina met German music executive Erwin Bach; rhe two married in a civil ceremony in July 2013, after dating for more than two decades. Tina is survived by her adopted sons Michael and Ike Jr. Her sons, Ronnie and Craig, died in December 2022 and July 2018, respectively.
