Liza Minelli cancels her performances

 Liza Minnelli is cancelling seven upcoming performances because she has bronchial pneumonia.

In a statement released through her publicist Thursday, the entertainer said she was ordered by her doctor to cancel the shows.

"I'm greatly disappointed that I will not be able to continue my tour. I do not want to let down my fans," her statement read. "I will be back on stage on November 20."

She said she'll return to the stage on Nov. 20 in Staten Island, NY.

Minnelli's tour features material from her new CD, "Confessions."
