Singing legend Peggy Lee opened the door for the cat\u2026 and almost ruined her forthcoming British tour.<\/p>\n

As she let the pet into her Beverly Hills bedroom she fell, injuring an arm and a leg. Now she will perform from a chair for the dates which start at the Royal Albert Hall on Thursday.<\/p>\n

She said in London yesterday: \u201cIs it being accident-prone when it\u2019s not your fault?\u201d<\/p>\n

Peggy was helped from a plane at Heathrow yesterday, and could not stand at a book-signing for her autobiography, Miss Peggy Lee.<\/p>\n

She is due to sing on TV\u2019s Wogan show tomorrow, but looked fragile.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis may be my last tour \u2013 but I hope not,\u201d she said. \u201cI\u2019m tough. I\u2019ve written a song that goes \u2018If I wasn\u2019t so healthy, I\u2019d be dead.\u2019 \u201c<\/p>\n

Peggy, 70 in May, first appeared with Benny Goodman almost 50 years ago and has recorded 59 albums.<\/p>\n

She is a diabetes sufferer, and travels with oxygen to help lungs weakened by pneumonia.<\/p>\n

But bad luck is not her only worry. She is suing the Disney organization for 15.5 million over alleged unauthorized transcriptions of songs she wrote for the cartoon Lady and the Tramp.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
