Off The Road Again

By Rebecca Winters

Tending to injuries--and one baby--a slew of musicians have suddenly engaged the brakes on their tour buses

CHRISTINA AGUILERA

Blaming strained vocal cords, pop's Dirrty girl hung up the chaps on a three-month tour set to start last week. She said she's "extremely disappointed." Moms of tweens are extremely relieved.

CELINE DION

Though she doesn't have to travel to sing at Caesars Palace, Diva Las Vegas has been in pain onstage--so Dion's doctor had her take time off for a neck sprain. This week her show will go back on.

WILLIE NELSON

The country stalwart nixed his May and June dates to cope with carpal-tunnel syndrome in his left hand. It seems playing nearly nightly for six decades finally gave the tireless tourer reason to fret.

SEAL

"Personal family matters" forced the scarred soul singer to reschedule some shows, his rep says. One theory: Seal is looking after his girlfriend, model Heidi Klum, and her new baby.
