THUNDER BAY – One of the biggest stars from the ‘90s won’t be coming to Thunder Bay after all.
Paula Abdul, the former Laker girl who shot to stardom with hits like Opposites Attract, Straight Up and Cold Hearted, was supposed to perform at the Community Auditorium on Oct. 15, along with Tiffany and Taylor Dayne.
Last night on Twitter Abdul announced she had to cancel her Canadian tour due to “some injuries” she 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,” the post said.
“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.”
Abdul apologized to her fans and said it “truly breaks (her) heart” to have to cancel.
“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 will be available at your point of purchase, which in Thunder Bay would have been through Ticketmaster Canada or the auditorium's box office.
