Jewel and Nancy O'Dell: Out of Dancing with the Stars

at .

Jewel and Nancy O'Dell, we hardly knew you!

The pair of previously-announced contestants on the new season of Dancing with the Stars have been forced to withdraw from the competition due to injury.

“When the doctors told me my injuries were so severe that I couldn’t walk, let alone compete, I was devastated that I couldn’t continue the show,” said Jewel, who was diagnosed with a fractured tibia in both legs. "I have every intention of being at Dancing with the Stars this season supporting my husband, Ty [Murray], and his partner, Chelsie Hightower. I hope to be back on the show in the future."

Holly Madison will join the show on Monday night's premiere. Who will fill the other vacant slot?

We'll have to tune in and find out.
