No Rock And Roll Fun

CROAKING: Johnny Borrell's laryngitis hasn't been helped by travelling on a plane so soon after diagnosis, and so Razorlight have had to cancel their UK tour as well as pulling those American dates. Although, of course, the illness - which Borrell described as "stagefright" in Denver has now mutated again into a "laryngitis type infection":

Singer, Johnny Borrell, developed serious problems with his voice whilst on tour in the US. The band were forced to cut short their North American dates, canceling the final sold-out show at Los Angeles's El Rey Theatre, whilst Johnny saw a specialist in Los Angeles.

He was diagnosed as suffering from a laryngitis type infection, administered anti-inflammatories and banned from singing for at least two weeks. Johnny immediately flew home to London to consult a second vocal specialist who confirmed his condition, put him on a course of medication and ordered complete rest.

Johnny, Björn, Carl, and Andy apologise for the inconvenience caused to all those coming to the shows and are keen to reschedule the sold-out six night run at Manchester Apollo, Glasgow Academy, and London's Alexandra Palace with as little delay as possible.

While Johnny is frustrated by his enforced silence he is determined to recover his vocal chords as fast as he can and promises to make the re-scheduled shows the most memorable rock'n'roll nights of the year.
