Alicia
Keys Calls in Sick on Tour
4/24/08
Alicia Keys has joined touring partner Jordin
Sparks on the sick list - she has cancelled a pair of U.S. concerts to
recover from a throat infection.
American Idol winner Sparks was forced to cancel a series of U.S.
concerts with the R&B superstar at the weekend (18-20Apr08), after
suffering from a career-threatening throat illness.
The Tattoo singer was ordered to rest her voice due to an acute vocal
chord hemorrhage condition, and now it's Keys' turn to call in sick.
Keys cancelled a show in Pennsylvania on Tuesday night (22Apr08), due
to a bout with swollen vocal cords, and now she has scrapped a show in
Ohio on Thursday (24Apr08).
The singer is expected to resume her tour on Saturday (26Apr08) in
Columbus, Ohio.
It is not known when Sparks will return to the tour.
