GOMEZ CANCELS CONCERTS OVER VOCAL STRAIN
Teen star SELENA GOMEZ has been forced to cancel two upcoming state fair concerts in Delaware and Ohio after straining her vocal chords.
The Wizards of Waverly Place star has pulled out of planned performance s at the Delaware State Fair on Wednesday (28Jul10) and the Ohio State Fa ir on Thursday (29Jul10).
The singer lost her voice on Monday (26Jul10) and had to use the latest technology during an appearance on U.S. late-night TV show Lopez Tonight to speak to host George Lopez.
The teen Latina refused to cancel her appearance on the show - and inst ead asked the host to send his questions ahead of time and programmed all her answers into a DynaVox robotic voice machine.
The Disney favourite began the awkward, disjointed chat by pressing a b utton and the DynaVox voice said, "I’m sorry, I’m so upset, but at least it’s funny, right?" The silent 18-year-old also used the odd device to explain how horrifie d she was to find three grey hairs on her head recently.
Her robot sidekick explained, "I freaked out. I ran to my mum and asked her what I should do. I asked if I should pluck them and she said I shou ldn’t - it’s bad luck." To thank her for not scrapping her appearance on his show and to celebr ate her recent 18th birthday, Lopez presented Gomez with a Wizard of Oz g ift basket - the film is the actress’ favourite.
The DynaVox device Gomez used on the show will be donated to Los Angele s’ Children’s Hospital.
