Gabe Saporta Update: Vocal Cyst

So, last week I updated with news that Gabe Saporta of Cobra Starship was on vocal rest due to throat problems.

Well, according to Gabe's Twitter the situation is worse than previously thought.

I just got back from the throat doctor. Not good. I have a cyst on my right vocal cord.

Information on vocal cord cysts from this website:

A vocal cord cyst is a firm mass of tissue contained within a membrane (sac). The cyst can be located near the surface of the vocal cord or deeper, near the ligament of the vocal cord. As with vocal cord polyps and nodules, the size and location of vocal cord cysts affect the degree of disruption of vocal cord vibration and subsequently the severity of hoarseness or other voice problem. Surgery followed by voice therapy is the most commonly recommended treatment for vocal cord cysts that significantly alter and/or limit voice.

Earlier this year, Bill Kaulitz of Tokio Hotel went through the same situation and it resulted in the cancellation of the band's European Tour. However, Gabe has already spoken out about the upcoming Sassyback Tour, slated to start October 7th.

Aw! Thx 2 every1 who's been wishin me 2 get well. I'm not sick-My voice is just fucked. But no way cancelling! So if I fuck up, don't b mad

Oh, Gabe. Like we could ever stay mad at you.

	no, not like rosalie hale.: 09/23/2008 5:44 PM xblanksface said: Knowing Gabe, he'll treat it with... I can't say it. It's not Buzznet appropriate. There are children on this site after all. HAHAHAHA you win. Even if the cysts aren't super serious, I would still delay or cancel the Sassyback Tour. If he continues to sing with it, it's possible that some brutal vocal chord damage could occur as a result. I'd be okay with losing Gabe on a fall tour if it means that we get to keep him forever.
	Trashcat Bailey: 09/23/2008 5:54 PM awwh. i hope he gets better! i have a cyst in my sinuses. xP
	tokyobound21: 09/23/2008 6:04 PM I really hope he's doing ok. I've had cysts before...and they are bad enough just being there but if it ruptures...it can be very bad...and painful...get well soon, Gabe! We want you on stage doing what you do best: showing us all how to be sassy and Cobralicious!!!
	braaaaaaaaaaaaainssssss: 09/23/2008 6:27 PM unfortunately, vocal cysts are so common with singers (shocking, i know). sonny moore, tyson ritter, bert mccracken, and many, many more have all had to cancel shows due to surgery necessary to remedy their vocal cords. =(

	tokiocharlotte: 09/24/2008 10:47 AM Egad. When I read about the cyst on Gabe's twitter yesterday my stomach dropped. Thank God he's chipper & upbeat about it, Bill Kaulitz's almost killed me this Spring, I don't need one of these every other season.

Anyway I don't want him to like, bust up his vocal cords even more. He should give himself a break. And what's up with the like 4731904823 singers having vocal cord problems lately?
