Celine Dion has canceled upcoming concerts in Las Vegas due to a virus that’s caused inflammation of her vocal cords.

The singer, who performs at Casears Palace’s Colosseum, has been advised by her doctors to rest for a week to recover, leading to the cancelation of several upcoming shows.

“I feel terrible about not being able to do these shows,” said Dion in a statement.

She continued, “I feel so bad for the fans. I don’t like to let people down… It’s the thing that bothers me more than anything. I really hope everyone understands how sorry I am.”

Refunds will be provided to ticket holders.

Dion is expected to return to the stage on March 3.

We wish her a speedy recovery.

All in all, Dion’s absence is not the worst development in a casino this weekend.
