Dion cancels gigs because of throat condition

Celine Dion has been forced to pull out of two Australian concerts due to ill health. Lucky Australia. No, only joking, Though we're assured it's a minor throat infection causing Dion problems, so hopefully we're not being too sick to mock her for it. Confirming that this week's show in Brisbane and Melbourne were being postponed, Dion told reporters (one would assume in a croaky voice): "I've been looking forward to doing this show in Brisbane for so long. I'm really sorry to disappoint my fans tonight". Fans won't have to wait too long though, the shows have been rescheduled for next week. Sydney and Perth dates shouldn't be affected.
