The sixty-four-year-old's hospitalization forced the postponement of her 40th anniversary tour, said manager Guy Oseary.

"At this time we will need to pause all commitments, which includes the tour," it continued. "We will share more details with you as soon as we have them, including a new state date for the tour and for rescheduled shows."
