Tokio Hotel cancels the remaining dates of the European tour
This is yet to be confirmed, but it looks like a press release from Universal & management since every newspaper in Germany has the story.

Hamburg, Germany
Has he endangered his health for his fans?

Singer Bill Kaulitz(18) of germany’s most successful rock band “Tokio Hotel”(DDM) has to go through a surgery of his larynx!

The doctors diagnosed a cyst on one of his vocal chords, that (the cyst) has to be removed immediately. Without a surgery his voice could be affected so strongly that he would never be able to sing again.

The completely sold out Europe-tour with concerts in Italy, Sweden, Slowenia, Serbia, Finnland, Danmark, Norway and a show in Dortmund have to be cancelled.

A HUGE SHOCK FOR MILLIONS OF FANS ACROSS THE WORLD!

"Bill has already been in supervision of doctors in the beginning of last week, because of laryngitis", says TH-producer and manager David Jost. “A further examination showed that a nub has developed on one of the vocal chords, which makes it impossible for the laryngitis to heal. The cyst has to be removed in a surgery this week.”

How can such a cyst develop?

“Mostly a nub on the vocal chords, a so called singers' knot, develops because of an overstraining of the voice,” says Doctor Julia Vent from the University-Hospital Cologne. “If a singer sings too loud or with wrong pressure such a nub can develop. That is encouraged, if the vocal chords are already affected by an infection. A cyst in the larynx is a small bubble filled with liquid. The surgery is made by inserting a pipe through the mouth. With help of a microscope the cyst is cut out with tiny, sharp scissors.”

After the surgery Bill has to go through a several-weeks long rehabilitation, to avoid long-term damage.

Producer David Jost: “We really hope, that the fans understand that Bill’s health has to be in the foreground.”

I'd say, if this is true, the new American dates will also be moved, like the rest of the European tour.

	fun fact : so they cancelled a date in france or stg and as Bill was explaining himself to the audience, a middle aged lady came onstage to translate to the audience, and everytime he said i'm sorry or whatever, she translated using 'she'! 'She is sorry, she hopes you all understand' blabla and she was standing like 2 feet away! anyway that was fun! (Reply to this) (Thread)

	do they actually sing? i've never heard one of their songs tbh. judging by their looks though, i figured they would just kinda yell through songs and not really rely on ~vocals~ (Reply to this) (Thread)(Expand)

	lulz surgery on your throat can fuck up your voice real good, so he may never sing again anyway if it isn't done right. see, this is why people who don't know proper singing technique shouldn't be professional singers. (Reply to this) (Thread)(Expand)
