Sarah Brightman, the actress/singer who came to fame as the original lead in Phantom of the Opera, has been forced to cancel a series of U.S. dates after breaking her ankle.
Brightman posted the following on her official web site:
I have suffered a hairline fracture to my ankle and have been advised by my doctors to rest it until September by which time it will have fully recovered. I have, regrettably, taken the decision to cancel my forthcoming U.S. dates in August. I apologize for any disappointment caused. Sarah Brightman
