She also assured her fans that the tour dates would be rescheduled.

“Please hold on to your tickets,” she Tweeted. “They will be honored in a special way when the new schedule is announced. Please pray for me, my family, and our entire company during this difficult time. There will be no further comment.”

RadarOnline.com reports that if the tumor is cancerous, it could mean the “end to the ‘Control’ singer’s career,” as she would need to to have immediate surgery and radiation treatment.

Reports also indicate that the voice box could also be susceptible to throat cancer since it contains the vocal cords that vibrate to make sound when a person talks or sings.
