Liza Minnelli broke her right kneecap when she tripped over a step at a hotel in Bologna, Italy, but still plans to sing at a benefit concert with famed tenor Luciano Pavarotti, her publicist said.

Minnelli, 58, was taken to a hospital after the accident Sunday and will have to wear a full-leg cast for about four weeks, Warren Cowan said.

“Even though she won’t be able to rehearse, she is going to perform Tuesday night with Pavarotti, even wearing the cast,” he said.

Minnelli still plans to sing the signature tune, “New York, New York,” in a duet with Pavarotti at his annual “Pavarotti and Friends,” benefit in his hometown of Modena, Italy, Cowan said.
