Fears For Diana

Diana Ross cancels 'Godmother' appearance at Royal Caribbean launch.
Pals said Ross has been burning the candle at both ends preparing for her Beautiful Love tour, and she simply may have needed rest.
"No reason was given for her pulling out of a performance aboard the Royal Caribbean cruise ship, but she's known as being a workaholic and was obviously trying to cram this show into her already very busy schedule," said an insider.
Diana Never Stops Working

Pals said 'Beautiful Love' tour prep prompted Diana Ross to rest.

"She never stops or takes long enough breaks. Her calendar has been jam-packed for decades, and she's formidable in that respect. But at the same time she's only human. It's taken a toll on her, and that's presumably why she cancelled.
"She probably just really needs to recharge her batteries."
After the news broke, a rep for Ross confirmed her canceling to People citing "unforeseen circumstances."
