Since winning last year's American Idol, Jordin Sparks has been performing non-stop. Sparks is being forced to sit out the opening dates of Alicia Keys' North American tour due to what was described as an acute vocal cord hemorrhage condition, relates E! Online magazine.
"Jordin Sparks is on vocal rest and is expected to make a full and complete recovery," a spokesman for the Zomba Label Group, Sparks' recording home, said in a statement Monday. "She looks forward to joining Alicia Keys on tour in May."
News of Sparks' vocal problems was apparently first made known by Penn State University, which announced last week that a Sparks solo concert set there for Sunday was canceled.
Sparks' doctors informed the university of the condition, it said, and noted that without rest the 18-year-old risked "permanent vocal cord damage."
A vocal cord hemorrhage, or bleeding in the vocal cord, "can be a serious problem," according to the Penn Center for Voice at  Pennsylvania Hospital's Website.
The condition is described by the hospital as "a complication of laryngitis caused when a person who has laryngitis uses their voice at the height of the infection."
The diagnosis jibes with Zomba's, which, in its statement, said "Sparks has been going non-stop over the past two years."
"Now she's going through the normal course of learning how to manage and care for her voice," the statement said.
