Tatu’s Julia Volkova To Have Throat Surgery

A spokesman for t.A.T.u. tells The Sun that the reason they cut their UK visit short was so Julia Volkova can have an operation on her throat. “Julia’s condition has not resolved itself with the daily treatment she has had in Moscow,” the spokesman said. “Her doctors have recommended that she undergo surgery in the next few days. Julia and Lena Katina are disappointed that they will not be able to visit the UK on this occasion. They had both been looking forward to visiting following the amazing support they have been getting.”

Tired Tatu Cut UK Visit Short

January 21, 2003 - The Sun reports t.A.T.u. have trimmed down a planned two-week promotional visit in the U.K. to just two days because they were suffering from exhaustion. Record label insiders say the girls are worn out after a non-stop tour of Europe. One said: “The girls are in massive demand. They fly in tomorrow to do Top Of The Pops and CD:UK but cannot stay any longer. They are tired out.”
