Christina Aguilera has canceled several concert appearances, including a
radio festival on Friday (October 27) in Chicago and a private Disney
Channel event on Saturday in New York, as the singer and several members
of her touring entourage are ill.
RCA Records publicist Pamela Murphy said Aguilera was diagnosed with a
viral syndrome associated with exudative tonsillitis by doctors in Hawaii,
where the singer has been holed up since completing her fall tour
following an October 21 show in Honolulu.
Aguilera isn't the only member of her touring crew to get bitten by the
flulike bug, Murphy said; at least nine others on the tour have come
down with similar symptoms.
Aguilera's condition has caused her to abandon plans to perform at the
annual B-96 Boo Bash on Friday in Chicago, and the singer has also nixed
her appearance with British pop trio BBMak for a promotional show at the
ESPN Zone in Times Square.
A performance on the "Live With Regis" morning show scheduled for
Thursday was the first cancellation on Aguilera's itinerary, although
organizers for the Disney event said that they were not notified until
late Thursday that Aguilera would be unable to attend.
Aguilera is expected to recuperate in time to participate in the Radio
Music Awards, on November 4 in Las Vegas, and will still shoot her
"Christina's Christmas Special" on November 7 and 8 in Los Angeles.
The singer just issued an LP of seasonal standards, My Kind of
Christmas, earlier this week, and ABC-TV is slated to broadcast her
Christmas special on December 8.
Organizers for the Disney Channel promotional event said they are in
talks with several other artists to fill in for Aguilera, but had yet
to confirm the replacement act as of press time.
