EVENT UPDATE – THIS TOUR HAS BEEN CANCELLED
A message from Paula:
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.
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 shows scheduled in Anchorage, AK and Fargo, ND.
I want to extend my deepest apologies to all my amazing Canadian fans, 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. 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.
Thank you for your love, your patience, and your understanding during this time.
