Christina Aguilera Postpones 2 Las Vegas Residency Dates After Catching Flu: ‘Cannot Wait to be Back on That Stage’
Christina Aguilera is temporarily hitting the brakes on her new Las Vegas residency until she recovers from the flu. On Thursday (Jan. 4), the pop star revealed that her upcoming concerts for this weekend at The Venetian’s Voltaire Belle de Nuit have been postponed as she recovers.
“After welcoming all of you to the new year from the stage in Las Vegas, I’ve been welcomed with a new flu!!!” she shared via her Instagram Story in a text post.
She continued, “I am sorry to share that my two shows this weekend will be rescheduled while I rest — and I cannot wait to be back on that stage in a few weeks. I’m incredibly proud of this show and grateful for all the support and love after opening weekend. See you soon. Ticket info available at original point of purchase.”
The five-time Grammy winner’s new residency kicked off with a pair of dates on Dec. 30 and Dec. 31, during which she performed some of her biggest hits and fan-favorite tracks on the intimate stage. Following opening weekend, Aguilera’s New Year’s Day post expressed gratitude for her fans coming out to support the show.
“I couldn’t think of a better way to bid farewell to this incredible year than to spend this night in LAS VEGAS with all of you, surrounded by your energy and enthusiasm,” she posted to Instagram on Monday. “Cheers to the magical moments we’ll create, the music that will fill our hearts, and the endless possibilities that lie ahead.”
