Shania Twain has cancelled her Rock This Country tour in New Hampshire and New York after being diagnosed with a respiratory infection.

The singer says her doctors advised her to rest for several days.

Twain cancelled her Tuesday night concert at the Verizon Wireless Arena in Manchester and her Wednesday night show in Albany at the Times Union Center.

Organizers say they cannot reschedule the shows due to her touring schedule, but that tickets will be refunded at the site where they were purchased.

The tour is set to resume Friday in Canada at the Videotron Centre in Quebec City
