Paula Abdul Cancels Tour to Undergo 'Minor Procedure' for Recent Injuries: 'This Truly Breaks My Heart'

Paula Abdul won't be taking the stage anytime soon.

The 62-year-old announced via Instagram on Wednesday, September 4, that she was forced to cancel her upcoming Canadian tour, which was supposed to start later this month, in order to treat recent injuries she suffered.

"It’s with an incredibly heavy heart that I need to share with you an update regarding some injuries I’ve recently sustained," Abdul expressed in a lengthy statement shared to the social media app. "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."

She continued: "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."

"I want to extend my deepest apologies to all my amazing fans in Canada and the US, you mean the world to me and this truly breaks my heart. I’ve been looking forward to the energy, love, and connection we always share when we’re together," the former American Idol judge expressed. "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 concluded: "Refunds will be available at your point of purchase. Thank you for your love, your patience, and your understanding during this time. With all my love and gratitude, XoP ♥️💋🇨🇦 🇺🇸."

Abdul’s Straight Up! to Canada Tour was scheduled to kick off on September 25 in Victoria, British Columbia and wrap up on October 26 in Sydney, a city in Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia.

Additional concert dates included one night in Fargo, North Dakota, on October 12 and a special show in Anchorage, Alaska, four days before the tour was due to begin.

The "Straight Up" singer appeared healthy enough just last month, as she had joined New Kids on the Block for their The Magic Summer 2024 Tour, which concluded on August 25.

Just six days before announcing the cancelation of her Canadian tour, Abdul took to Instagram with a "#ThrowbackThursday" post reflecting on her debut headlining concert tour, which took place more than three decades ago.

"Now that the Magic Summer Tour has come to an end, I’ve been reminiscing on all of my time spent on the road. Who came out to see the ‘Under Your Spell’ Tour in 1991 or 1992!? We’ve come a long way since then, and I cannot wait for what’s still in store! ✨💜," the former Los Angeles Lakers cheerleader captioned her August 29 upload.

Fans were, of course, disappointed to hear news of Abdul's tour cancelation, however, many supporters sent positive thoughts the "Rush Rush" hitmaker's way.

"You just finished a 47-day tour, your body needs to rest I hope you find time for yourself take care of yourself and rest up so you can heal. Health always comes first. Get well soon! ❤️🙏🏻 Sending you a big hug love you Paula," one fan expressed, as another added: "Oh no! So sorry to hear it Paula! I hope you feel better soon and get the rest you need ❤️🙏🏻❤️."
