LAS VEGAS (AP) _ Celine Dion has canceled five more performances of her nightly show at Caesars Palace after spraining her neck earlier this month. Dion's show ``A New Day ...'' won't go on Wednesday through Sunday. The 36-year-old singer had to cancel last week's performances because of the nagging injury.

The star has been hampered by the sprained neck, which she suffered during a Mother's Day show, show spokeswoman Kris Lingle said.

Celine's doctor told her not to perform so the muscle in her neck can heal properly.

Dion is expected to resume performances May 26, Lingle said.

The singer is in the second year of a three-year engagement at the Las Vegas Strip hotel-casino.
