Willie Nelson had to cut short a Las Vegas show on Saturday because of excessive pain caused by what is known as carpal tunnel syndrome. The legendary singer has now been told by doctors he should have surgery, which means he has had to cancel all live dates for the next two months, including his set at the Bonnaroo Music Festival.
Talking of illness in Vegas, Celine Dion has had to cancel a few dates on her mega-season at the city's Caesars Palace venue due to a neck sprain. She has been advised to take three days off to fully recover, but should be back on stage by the weekend.
