Celine Dion's voice will be back to full health in four weeks, according to a statement posted on her website.

The singer had announced in late February that she had been forced to cancel a number of performances in order to rest her voice.

She had experienced difficulties with her vocal cords and was told to rest her voice by doctors.

In a statement posted yesterday (March 19), it was revealed that progress is going well and that she is on course to recover fully in a month. The statement said:

"Celine Dion received good news last week during her follow-up examination with Professor Gerald Berke at the UCLA Medical Clinic. The rest that Professor Berke prescribed allowed Celine's vocal chords to recover from their weakened state and it is expected that she'll be back to 100% within four weeks time."
