Faith Forced to Cancel Tonight
Keywords:
2/8/2008 A bronchial infection has prompted Faith Hill to cancel her performance tonight as part of the MusiCares Tribute to Aretha Franklin, according to Country Aircheck. "I am devastated and deeply disappointed," Faith says. "I have been looking forward to being part of this event for months, and even after being diagnosed with a bronchial infection I came to L.A. anyway, hoping that I'd be able to sing. I simply can't." The event goes on without Faith, but with Dan Aykroyd & Jim Belushi (as The Blues Brothers), John Legend, Corinne Bailey Rae, BeBe and CeCe Winans, and others scheduled to appear. This annual Grammy Week gala is now in its 18th year. Proceeds from the Person of the Year dinner and concert provide essential support for MusiCares, which ensures that music people have a place to turn in times of financial, medical and personal need.
