ILL DION SCRAPS HANDFUL OF SHOWS

CELINE DION has been forced to postpone a string of shows on the North American leg of her world tour due to a persistent respiratory virus.
The My Heart Will Go On hitmaker pulled out of performances in Minneapolis, Minnesota; Chicago, Illinois and Indianapolis, Indiana earlier this month (Nov08).
And now she has been ordered by doctors to scrap further concerts in Tulsa, Oklahoma; Kansas City and St Louis, Missouri; Salt Lake City, Utah; San Jose, California; Omaha, Nebraska and Denver, Colorado.
Dion is recuperating from a recurrent infection that has been further complicated by inflamed vocal cords, according to a statement released by concert promoter AEG Live.
The firm adds: "Her physician has instructed her to refrain from singing in order to completely recover."
The singer, who is currently on her Taking Chances world tour, has already rescheduled the dates for December (08), January and February (09).
