Tokio Hotel have been forced to cancel their sold-out European tour because singer Bill Kaulitz has a cyst on his vocal cords, reports People.com. He has to get it surgically removed this week, then spend weeks recovering (no singing!). This issue “requires swift surgery or his voice could be at risk for permanent damage,” said Tokio Hotel spokesman Stephan Henckel. Dates in Italy, Sweden, Slovenia, Serbia, Finland, Denmark, Norway and Germany have been affected.

I remember when Ryan Key of Yellowcard had to have the same surgery — he wasn’t even allowed to TALK for weeks! Rough.
