Director Chou loses his voice, forbidden to sing high notes for 30 days
by kelvin@multistars - 5th August 2004Jay couldn't withstand catching the cold, yesterday night he coughed a lot, at the last minute he delayed the notice for Matilda Tao UFO radio, instead he went to see a famous voice expert, after an hour long physical treatment, Director Chou was given the "order of not singing high notes" for a month, otherwise there might be a chance that his vocal cords that are already congested will grow callus and hinder his development in the music industry.
Caught a bad cold, vocal cords congested
On the 3rd of August when Director Chou appeared at the press conference for his new album "Common Jasmin Orange", he expressed he caught the cold, his voice was hoarse and he couldn't sing live, when he was being interviewed he frequently coughed, his condition is fairly serious.
Due to the fact there is only 14 days for promotion, take away 2 days to film music videos, they are only left with 10 days of promotion, the schedule for each days is very full, but, after he ran from one notice to another in two days, he coughed constantly, finally yesterday night after he got off the interview from "AZIO", he went straight to Yang Guang Rong, ear, nose and voice expert.
Director Chou originally thought the treatment would only last at most 20 minutes, who could have thought it would take an hour, for the promotion all he could do was phone UFO radio and tell Matilda Tao he was sick, cancelling the interview last minute.
Director Chou was diagnosed as suffering from a severe cold, causing his vocal cords to be congested, voice hoarse, carrying out a lot of physical treatment, including using infra-red radiation shining at the muscles on the eternal part of the throat, making the muscles relax, speeding up the disappearance of the congestion symptom.
Apart from this, Yang Guang Rong gave Director Chou the "order to not sing high notes" for a month, it made Director Chou frown. Because in "Common Jasmin Orange", he especially wrote the song "Run Aground" to show high notes, he can't even sing for a month! The thing that worries Director Chou the most is that on the 14th and 15th of August, he is holding 3 sessions of singing and signing gathering, what if at that time his vocal cords are still congested and he "cannot speak", he will feel he let down the fans who queued through the night.
For this yesterday Director Chou went to sleep early and woke up early, obediently taking his medicine on time, he even didn't touch the fried chick which he loves to eat, he only ate thin noodles in soup, these kind of light foods, and he who likes to drink coke has been prohibited from drinking them since they contain bubbles that will irritate his throat, he can only drink warm water.
Alfa Music expressed that they have temporarily decided for Jay only sing one song "Common Jasmin Orange" at the moment, in order for him to be able to sing on the 2nd of October in the "Wu Yu Lun Bi" concert.
