Illness forces Celine Dion to postpone San Jose show

After postponing a half-dozen shows in recent weeks as she struggles to fend off an infection, Celine Dion today added the Nov. 23 show at San Jose’s HP Pavilion to the 86 list. It has been rescheduled for Feb. 20.

Here’s the press release from her publicist (those are vocal CORDS, by the way):

SAN JOSE, CA – November 14, 2008 — AEG Live, the promoter of Celine Dion’s Taking Chances World Tour, has rescheduled the artist’s San Jose concert at HP Pavilion, originally scheduled for Sunday, November 23, 2008, while Celine recuperates from a recurrent naso-pharyngeal infection which was further complicated by inflamed vocal chords. Her physician has instructed her to refrain from singing in order to completely recover.

Celine’s concert has been rescheduled for Friday, February 20, 2009.

Fans should hold on to their original tickets as they will be honored for the new concert date. Fans unable to attend the rescheduled concert can obtain a refund at their original point of purchase.

    I am writing about the concert that was postponed in Salt Lake City. I hope Celine gets better! But she needs to reschedule it for a different day other than a SUNDAY!! Please!

  • steven

    NO Sunday dates please………..

  • Steve

    I’m in Utah too, my sister had tickets for the show here. People, don’t complain that the concert is on a Sunday now… she could have just as easily canceled instead of postponing her show(s). Be greatful. If you’re worried about keeping the sabbath day holy, just don’t buy any of her stuff while at the concert… what’s the difference between watching TV and going to a concert on a Sunday? None. I myself wouldn’t worry and would still buy a T-shirt etc. (if I were going)… nothing grievious and bad about that.

    Poor Celine… She’s been fighting this infection for weeks now. I’m disappointed because I have tickets for SJ and now have to wait another 3 months to see her. Oh well!

    And why you guys are all talking about the SLC show when this article is about the SJ show is beyond me…

    Wow I am glad to find this news I was woundering I hope she feels better> also heres something i’ve been posting on myspace.

    Celine Dion’s myspace page needs to be up dated sence her show at the HP Pavilion 11-23-08 has been post poned to 2-20-09 UGH DOSE ANY ONE KNOW WHY I’D Love to KNOW.
    Well this is a bummer I was sooooo excited about this weekend. Cause my husband I were going to see Celine Dion in San Jose However the show has just been post pond to Febuary 20th I was so excited the date was finnaly here sence I had bought the tickits over a year ago and I’ve always wanted to see her show and I could never aford the price or fly and all that when she was in Vegas and I was so sad when she was done cause I thought I’d never see her live then I was so excited to her of her tour. So yea its frusterating and a little upsetting. This happened to me once before to go see Michelle Branch there and then the show was canceled. Well I got to go I thought I’d share that.

    We were also saddened by Celine’s illness. We planned a 3 day getaway weekend in San Jose, which included her concert. We hope she gets better. The concert should be planned on a Saturday evening. We saw her in Vegas and she really can put on quite a fantastic show! She is probably performing too much to be so ill. I heard the infected affected her vocal chords. If we were on the go as much as she is, we would be ill too….and she is getting too thin…has anyone else noticed?

    Hey everyone! I feel so dissapointed for you here, but at least Celine has time to relax now, Well I live in South Africa and I saw her concert twice, First was on the 16th February at Loftus Stadium and the second I saw was her last show in South Africa, on the 1st March at Monte Casino. SHE WAS EXTRAORDINARY, AMAZING!!!!! (thats why I went twice.lol) God Bless Celine…..you have a lot of fans who are here for you:-)

    I feel so bad for saying that but I had no idea about Celein’s tour, but now I can try to see her in any of her postponed concerts.
    I love Celein and this will be my second concert after Las Vegas’s, and this will be my gift to my freshman and sofmore college girls.
    I finally can keep my promise for the graduations gifts.

    Im sad

  • Danzaay

    I am writting about the concert in Omaha, NE on Nov. 19th.
    I get that she is sick, I am very sorry about that. I hope she gets well very soon. But if the people that arrange all the concerts knows that she is still sick why they wait until a few hours before the concert to postpone it or cancell it. I flew from Miami to Dallas and then to Omaha on the day of the concert just to see her, because it was my only chance, I am leaving the US and don’t if I can come back any time soon. I spent all that money on plane tickets, and hotel only to get there and find out that the concert was postponed until feb. 26th. I was really angry.

    She’s not worth prayers. She deserves what she gets. The witch.

    This is the second show Celine has cancelled on me. I bought tickets to her show in Las Vegas on Oct. 5, 2007 and she cancelled it due to a “stomach virus.” I had to arrange time off work, buy plane tickets and a hotel room so I could see her show before it ended in Vegas. I only found out about her not doing her show a day before because there was a sign outside Ceasar’s Colosseum. Celine, you shouldn’t be scheduling all these shows if you can’t do them. Obviously you don’t care about your fans who have sacrificed a lot to see you.

  • sergio

    Ima see Celine Dion in Dallas tomorrow and I hope she doesn’t reschedule cuz I’ve been waiting to see her since feb… I luv u Celine!!! HOpe u get back to vegas before this year is over!!!
