Celine Dion Cancels 4 Months of Concerts Because of Inflamed Vocal Chords

Legendary singer, Celine Dion was oredered to cancel the next 4 months of concerts in Las Vegas because of a virus that affected her vocal chords.

The 43-year-old Canadian has a three-year contract to perform at Caesers Palace in Las Vegas, NV, where a single ticket to her show costs up to $250.

Dion released a statement on her website.

"I tried to sing at my sound-check last week, and I had no control of my voice whatsoever," she said. "We thought that after a few days rest I would improve but it wasn't getting any better. 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."
