Leona Lewis Needs Throat Op; Cosima Sends Moral Support
11:31AM Clem Bastow | Leona Lewis, the UK X Factor winner whose stardom really eluded us for a long time (people were saying she was the new Whitney/Mariah/Aretha, we were like, “whut whut?”) is the first British female artist to hit the top of the US charts in 20 years – but her more pressing concern involves probable surgery on her throat.
In rather old-fashioned fashion, Leona may need to have her tonsils out!
Feel free to make an inappropriate Bleeding Love joke here.
She said: “I’ve had tonsillitis for the whole of the past week. I’ve been desperately trying to get better.”
A representative for the 22-year-old singer has confirmed she may be forced to have surgery, adding: “Leona would like to reassure fans this is a routine operation which will not affect her voice. She has sought specialists’ advice.”
So, in other words, she has nothing to worry about? If anything, not having the surgery is probably worse for her!
Sounds like The Sun et al need a basic course in anatomy – one doesn’t sing with one’s tonsils, dearies. Maybe Leona can swing herself an ice cream or Jello endorsement deal during her recovery? More »
