Surely not.

I do hope her throat gets better - and a healthy pregnancy.

Oh dear. I don't do sensitive, but I would be distressed at the thought of harm to her or to her musical ability.

Very sorry to hear this, but of course Eliza must take the medical advice. Sending positive thoughts for a happy and healthy pregnancy and vocal recovery in due course.

No Mr Red - it does not!

Further full message now received from Lawrence Heath, organiser of Electric Voices, as follows:

I have just been informed by her agent that Eliza has had to pull out of her tour due to ill health.

Eliza has sent the following message:

After much consideration and soul-searching I sincerely regret to announce that I am unable to finish my November tour. I've been suffering from difficulties with singing and speaking caused by a cyst in my throat and for the last couple of months have been attending Ear, Nose and Throat clinics both on the NHS and last week in Harley Street. I have begun voice therapy and physiotherapy but have been told that the cyst is being exacerbated by water retention and swelling caused by my pregnancy, and while the normal treatment for this includes anti-inflammatory drugs this is not possible at the moment and the only thing that will drastically improve my vocal health is to have my child and rest, and see the specialists again in the Spring. The physical effort of trying to sing past this obstruction is just too much for me at the moment and what I am able to produce as a sound is alarming and inconsistent and leaves me exhausted and in pain after every show. I am assured that I will return to full vocal health after my daughter is born, and would love to have the opportunity to honour my commitments then.
My apologies to everyone.
Eliza

I'm sure you all join with me in wishing Eliza a speedy recovery and the safe delivery of her daughter.

That's a shame, presumably because of her pregnancy... anyone know when she's due?
