Written by on September 5, 2024

Straight up? Paula Abdul feels absolutely terrible about having to cancel her entire upcoming Straight Up! to Canada 2024 fall tour. The 62-year-old singer/dancer announced to fans on Wednesday night (Sept. 4) that she has been forced to call off the entire tour due to unspecified injuries that will require two months of recovery time.

“It’s with an incredibly heavy heart that I need to share with you an update regarding some injuries I’ve recently sustained. 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 wrote in a post.

“After multiple consultations with my doctors and exploring all available options, I’ve been advised that one of my injuries requires a minor procedure followed by a 6-8 week recovery time, therefore it will prohibit me from proceeding with the Straight Up! To Canada Tour as well as the dates in Alaska and North Dakota,” she added.

The monthlong outing was slated to kick off on Sept. 25 with a show at the Save on Foods Memorial Arena in Victoria, B.C. and wind its way across 20 markets in Canada before wrapping up on Oct. 26 at the Centre 200 in Sydney, Nova Scotia.

“I want to extend my deepest apologies to all my amazing fans in Canada and the U.S., you mean the world to me and this truly breaks my heart,” Abdul concluded. “I’ve been looking forward to the energy, love, and connection we always share when we’re together. 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.” Refunds for the shows are available at point of purchase.

Abdul’s tour was also scheduled to hit the Alaska Airlines Arena in Anchorage, Alaska on Sept. 21 before the Canadian tour kicked off and pop into the Scheels Arena in Fargo, N.D. on Oct. 12 on the tour that was slated to feature opening acts Taylor Dayne and Tiffany. Abdul’s busy 2024 also included her just-wrapped joint tour with New Kids on the Block and DJ Jazzy Jeff, which wound down on August 25.
