Even as golden a throat as Celine Dion's is not immune to the ravages of seasonal bugs, it seems.

The diva's promoter, AEG Live, has announced that the singer is canceling a string of concerts she had planned at Las Vegas' Caesars Palace from Tuesday through Friday. Dion recently recuperated from the flu, but she had developed sinusitis and been prescribed antibiotics by her doctor, who advised that she rest for a week, AEG said.

Dion is expected to resume performances at the Vegas casino's The Colosseum on Feb. 26. Those who bought tickets for the canceled shows will have their money refunded.
