Cinderella [ tickets ] had to postpone its upcoming tour after lead singer, Tom Keifer, was diagnosed with a hemorrhaging vocal cord, according to a statement on the band's website.

Keifer felt his throat give way June 11 when the band was finishing its set in pre-production rehearsals. His Nashville doctor said it would be two to three weeks before the swelling and damage would recede to a point where an assessment can be made as to whether surgery will be required.
