    Paula Abdul is "recovering well" after a series of injuries forced her to cancel her tour

    The 62-year-old pop star was due to kick off her 'Straight Up! To Canada' tour in late September but pulled the plug just weeks beforehand because she needed to undergo surgery and now just has one more to go


    She told UsWeekly: "I'm recovering well. I have already had one procedure done. I have one more to go, but I'm guaranteed eight weeks I'll be Humpty Dumpty back together again."

    But the 'Opposites Attract' hitmaker - who returned to touring in 2018 after almost 30 years away - is sure that she will be back on the road when she is able to because she is keen to see the rest of the world and perform for her fans around the globe.

    She said: "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."

    Just weeks ago, the former 'American Idol' judge took to social media to apologise to her fans that her tour had to be cancelled.

    She wrote on Instagram: "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 the dates in Alaska and North Dakota. "
