Assembly Hall‘s show on Friday featuring Jordin Sparks, a mildly successful American Idol winner and Flo Rida, who I have never listened to because I stopped going to on-campus bars, has been canceled. According to a news release from the venue, Sparks’ doctor says she is unable to perform “due to an acute vocal chord hemorrhage condition,” and is on vocal rest.
Vocal injuries have struck Kelly Clarkson and Kellie Picker (as mentioned in this USA Today reblog) and now Jordin Sparks. You mean American Idol participants haven’t been trained how to properly sing and not belt out songs as loud as they can?
This show is also just another in the string of concerts that have been canceled or rescheduled at Assembly Hall, joining the ranks of The Fray, T.I. feat. T-Pain, and John Mellencamp. Though most weren’t the venue’s fault, I can’t help but wonder if their ticket office spends more time refunding tickets than they do selling them.
