CANNES: US music and screen legend Barbra Streisand has been forced to cancel an appearance at the Cannes Film Festival because of a knee problem, the organisers said Sunday.
The two-time Oscar winner was due to appear at Cannes to collect a lifetime achievement award but said her doctors told her not to travel while recovering from a knee operation.
The festival said in a statement that it would still go ahead with plans to celebrate the career of the 84-year-old on Saturday, and wished her a speedy recovery.
