World-famous Singer Celine Dion may be calling her world tour the "Taking Chances" tour, but she's taking no chances when it comes to re-scheduling a concert in San Jose.

The superstar songstress was scheduled to play the HP Pavilion on Sunday, Nov. 23.

AEG Live, Dion's promoter, said Friday that the concert has been rescheduled while the singer recuperates from a recurrent naso-pharyngeal infection.

The promoter said the infection was further complicated by inflamed vocal chords.

Her physician has instructed her to refrain from singing in order to completely recover, the promoter said.

AEG officials said the concert would take place on Friday, Feb. 20, 2009

AEG officials said fans should hold on to their original tickets as they will be honored for the new concert date.

Fans unable to attend the rescheduled concert can obtain a refund at their original point of purchase, AEG officials said.

  • ariel's mom Monday, Nov 24 at 5:18 PM FLAG COMMENT Yeah but she is always canceling her concerts. I have had tickets to 4 shows including Las Vegas. I mean I understand people do get sick and the first 2 times you understand but then after the 3rd or 4th time your like wondering if your ever going to see her. I was also not notified about the canceling so I am very upset about this.
  • Jacob Wang Monday, Nov 17 at 8:15 PM FLAG COMMENT FIrst a pro soccer team which was a 2-time league champion. Now Celine Dion is re-scheduled for three months down the road. What else will AEG take from San Jose?
  • Sandy Sunday, Nov 16 at 12:39 PM FLAG COMMENT you all are sick with your comments about Celine, I have seen her in Vegas and she puts on a wonderful show, entertainers are allowed to get sick, I am not happy she cancelled but certainly not gonna accuse her of doing drugs . Those that accuse are the ones that abuse. So i will wait till Feb to see her no big deal!!!!!!!!!!!!!
