How could it get this far?
Since he was 11 Bill has been singing Rock songs on stage, demanding a lot of his voice.
In last year alone he played 43 concerts without giving himself a break.
Not everyone can just demand so much of his
voice”, tells Dr. Thomas Disselbeck (50). When you
sing a lot, you have a big chance of developing this cyst. Also strong
intense singing, high notes and frequent singing can result in damage
of the vocal cords.
Did Bill ruin his voice?
Bill already has vocal therapy for many years and since 3
years he is warming up his voice before a concert for at least 30
minutes, tells producer and manager David Jost.
“But during the concert itself he wants to go with his
feeling and let his emotions out, he then has to watch that he
doesnt demand toi much of his voice.
Bill is not the first Rockstar with problems on his vocal cords.
Also Justin Timberlake (27) has had surgery in 2005 for a cyst on his
vocal cords and wasn’t allowed to sing or speak after that
for weeks.
The 125.000 ticket owners are shocked after hearing the news about Bill’s operation.
After cancelling the concert in Dortmund, more than 100 shocked fans
that have been there since more than a week in the Westfalenhalle went
home.
An eyewitness tells: There was much sadness and tears but most of them have made peace with it.
How is Bill right now?
David Jost;He is in bed taking medication to keep
his vocal cords down. The doctors cant operate yet because
he has taken aspirin in the days before against headaches. This
medication has to get out of his blood system first. It can lead to
complications otherwise during surgery.
