Braxton cancels Vegas shows

Toni Braxton’s Las Vegas shows have been canceled this week while the singer recuperates after being hospitalized with chest pain, a hotel official says.

“We expect she’ll return to the stage next Tuesday,” Flamingo hotel-casino and Harrah’s Entertainment Inc. spokeswoman Deanna Pettit said Wednesday.

Pettit said the 40-year-old Grammy winner was recovering at home after her release Tuesday afternoon after precautionary tests at a Las Vegas-area hospital. The cause of Braxton’s chest pain has not been made public.
