Diana Ross Cancels Summer Tour

LOS ANGELES (Dianna Ross Fans Website) - Diana Ross, who checked herself into a drug and alcohol rehabilitation center two months ago, has canceled the remaining dates of her summer concert tour.

No reason was given for halting the 14-date, 10-city North American outing, which opened last week at the Westbury Music Fair in New York and continued with performances in Boston and in Ontario, Canada, before the tour was scrubbed.

A spokeswoman for the 58-year-old singer confirmed reports that she had canceled the rest of the tour schedule but declined to answer questions. "There is no comment," she said.

In late May, the singer's publicist said the Motown veteran had "voluntarily entered" the residential treatment facility Promises in Malibu, California, to "clear up some personal issues" before embarking on her tour.

The publicist, Paul Bloch, said at the time, "She wanted to be in great shape because she is someone who feels a sense of responsibility to her family and her fans." Bloch said then that Ross had been at the facility for about 10 days, but it was not known when she left the center.

The tour's confirmed itinerary was to have resumed Aug. 9 with a two-night stand at the Cerritos Center in Southern California, then continue with six more stops on the West Coast.
Ross also performed June 26 in Germany, her spokeswoman said.
