After canceling a handful of her Las Vegas shows, Celine Dion is now canceling all of her shows until June!
Celine initially canceled the shows to rest her throat because of weakness in her right vocal chord, secondary to a viral illness.
But when things did not get better after the time off, a specialist recommended that she continue the rest for six to eight weeks. Celine explained on her website:
“I tried to sing at my sound-check last week, and I had no control of my voice whatsoever. We thought that after a few days rest I would improve but it wasn’t getting any better….I guess it was worse than I thought. I’m fortunate that I was able to see Professor Berke. He identified what was causing the problems I was having, and he assured me that with the amount of rest he prescribed, I would be back to 100%. Obviously this is the worst thing for a singer….not being able to do your shows. I feel worse knowing that I’m disappointing my fans. I’m so sorry…..I hope they forgive me.”
