Celine Dion is embarking on her first North American tour in more than a decade. The Quebecois superstar revealed plans to play more than 50 cities across Canada and the United States starting in Quebec City on Sept. 18 and 20. Dion will then head to Montreal for two shows on Sept. 26 and 27 before hitting Ottawa on Oct. 16 and Toronto on Dec. 9. The dates are part of a larger world tour that'll coincide with the release of her new album "Courage" later this year. The singer, who is to end her Las Vegas residency in June, suggested it was time for something new. Tickets for the first leg of the tour go on sale April 12. She is to return to Canada in 2020 with a second leg of dates next year in Vancouver, Edmonton, Saskatoon and Winnipeg. Further shows outside North America weren't part of the announcement Dion told the audience she decided to name her album and tour "Courage" because it recognized the challenges life can hand people. In her case, she said it was the death of her husband and longtime mentor Rene Angelil. "Courage" marks Dion's first album of new material since her French-language effort "Encore un soir" in 2016.
