Singer Paula Abdul has cancelled her Straight Up! To Canada Tour dates.

On Wednesday evening, Abdul, 62, announced the cancellation of her Canadian shows as well as two American concert dates.

In a statement shared to social media, Abdul said she was forced to cancel the tour due to a recent injury that will require her to undergo a minor procedure. She did not provide specifics about the injury or her medical treatment.

“It’s with an incredibly heavy heart that I need to share with you an update regarding some injuries I’ve recently sustained,” Abdul wrote. “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 her doctors advised her to call off the tour because a necessary medical procedure will require six to eight weeks of recovery.
