Paula Abdul vows to return to the road after cancelling tour due to health

Paula Abdul is on the road to recovery after cancelling her Straight Up! To Canada Tour last month.

The 62-year-old pop icon provided a health update while speaking to US Weekly during the Dancers Against Cancer’s 10th Annual Gala of Stars Awards, held on Wednesday, October 9 at The Beverly Hilton.

“I’m recovering well. I have already had one procedure done,” Abdul shared with the outlet. “I have one more to go, but I’m guaranteed [that in] eight weeks, I’ll be humpty dumpty back together again.”

Originally scheduled for September 25 to October 26, Abdul had to cancel her tour due to unspecified injuries, which required targeted injections and consultations with doctors. She posted a heartfelt apology to her fans, explaining that the “demands of an entire tour” are too much but promising she’d come back “stronger and better.”

Despite the setback, the former American Idol judge told US Weekly that she’s eager to return to the stage.

“I had the best time just coming off this tour and there’s still the rest of the world to see and to be able to perform in front of,” she declared.
