LOS ANGELES, California (CNN) -- Singer Diana Ross has entered a Southern California drug and alcohol rehabilitation center, weeks before she is to launch a world tour.
According to a statement from her publicist, Paul Bloch, Ross is being treated at the Promises center in Malibu "to clear up some personal issues." The statement did not elaborate on her reason for seeking treatment at the facility, which the 58-year-old singer may have entered more than a week ago.
In the statement, Bloch said Ross "wanted to be in great shape because she is someone who feels a sense of responsibility to her family and her fans."
The former Supremes singer is to open her tour in Germany on June 26.
Promises has become a popular destination for celebrities pursuing rehab. According to the facility's Web site, Promises offers "individualized treatment for drug addiction, alcoholism and other chemical dependencies." The treatment program involves "daily educational lectures, relapse prevention skills, group therapy sessions, equine therapy and art therapy," it says.
