Vocal Cord Surgery Forces Tristan Prettyman To Postpone Tour

Tristan Prettyman checked in with fans on her blog at MySpace (@tristanprettyman), talking about how she’s been dealing with a polyp on her vocal cord and how hopes for it to heal haven’t been successful, forcing the singer songwriter to postpone her fall tour to have surgery done, sidelining her for three months as it heals. Tristan writes:

I don’t want to perform live for my fans without being able to give the best performance I can. So for now the tour is on hold, but I PROMISE the tour will be rescheduled. Everyone should receive a full refund if you had purchased your ticket. Apologies if ticketing companies don’t refund ticketing fees!!!

I will be getting surgery now, and taking the next 3 months to properly heal. Right now my voice is more like a rickety old appliance. You have to hold the cord this one weird way for it to work, and some days its works and some days it doesn’t. So I’m sending her in, I’m getting her fixed. She’s going to come back so shiny and new, and purring better than ever!….
