24 Aug 12 - 07:20 AM (#3394424) Subject: Eliza cancels tour, delays album- health From: Vic Smith From a Press Release:- ELIZA CARTHY AUTUMN TOUR CANCELLED & 'BEST OF' ALBUM, 'WAYWARD DAUGHTER' IS POSTPONED UNTIL 2013. It is with regret that we announce the cancelation of Eliza Carthy's October tour and the postponement of her 'best of' album 'Wayward Daughter' which marks the anniversary of a remarkable and pioneering 21 year musical career. Eliza has recently experienced the resurgence of chronic asthma and vocal chord cysts problems (for which she had surgery several years ago). As a consequence - and in order to preserve her voice - Eliza's been urged by throat specialists to take time off to ensure a full recovery in the longer term. Though Eliza is very disappointed by having to withdraw from a tour she's been looking forward to and regrets any inconvenience it may cause, she has agreed to reduce her schedule. Eliza will be honouring live commitments up until September and also intends to appear with her mother, Norma Waterson, on their 'Gift' tour (3rd -15th December). Meanwhile, the 'Wayward Daughter' double cd - will now be released via HemHem in May 2013. The album will accompany Eliza's next set of major UK dates, also in May. (featuring Jim Moray). |

If a nice, long rest will keep her singing like that, then I'm all for it. She should also try the hot honey and lemon..... |

26 Aug 12 - 08:29 AM (#3395337) Subject: RE: Eliza cancels tour, delays album- health From: Vic Smith Does she smoke by any chance? I don't think so, but I recall, way back in the days when she was touring with Nancy Kerr, just how bad her chronic asthma could be. She was staying with us after a gig. She just could not get out of bed and we wanted to get her to our local hospital for steroid treatment to deal with it. |
