LAS VEGAS (AP)- Four more of Toni Braxton's shows in Las Vegas
are now canceled while she recuperates from a bout with chest pain.

Harrah's Entertainment says Braxton will be out the rest of the week. Spokeswoman Deanna Pettie says it's expected Braxton will be back on stage next Tuesday.

Braxton was hospitalized after suffering chest pain and released
Tuesday afternoon after undergoing tests.

The exact cause of her chest pain hasn't been made public. In the past, Braxton has been treated for pericarditis, a viral inflammation of the heart.

Braxton is 40 years old. She is in the midst of a two-year run at the Flamingo.
