NEW YORK — Liza Minnelli has been ordered by her doctor to cancel seven upcoming concert dates due to bronchial pneumonia.
Minnelli was scheduled to perform Friday in Spokane, Wash. Other cities impacted over the next month include Indianapolis, Boston, Memphis and Nashville.
"Performing live is my passion and I’m greatly disappointed that I will not be able to continue my tour," the 64-year-old singer said in a statement Friday. "I do not want to let down my fans as my loyalty to them has always been of prime importance in my life."
Minnelli has been touring in support of her new album, Confessions. She plans to return to the stage on Nov. 20 in Staten Island, N.Y.
