Joey Yung to rest from singing for three months

4 Mar – Hong Kong diva Joey Yung, who was reported to have suffered from vocal problems, has been advised by doctors to stop singing for three months in order to make sure that her condition would not deteriorate.

Previously, the singer continued to perform her 15-show 1314 Joey Yung Concert despite her vocal condition caused by her flu and throat infection, and even went on to get acupuncture to continue her show.

However, Mingpao reported that the singer, who recently attended the 12th IFPI Hong Kong Top Sales Music Awards, admitted that she will not be able to sing for the time being until her vocal cord rupture is healed.

"The doctor said I have to rest as long as three months or undergo surgery. But I don't want to do surgery, so I am taking medicine every day now," said Joey.

It was also rumoured that due to her condition, Joey had to turn down several commercial offers from mainland that cost her millions of Yuan. She also had to forgo her appearance at good friend Richard Ng's concert held later in March.

However, the singer hopes to be fully recovered by June, before launching her concert tour.
