ANNIE LENNOX HAS SURGERY – POSTPONES CD

FROM PEOPLE Magazine

I’m extremely grateful that ANNIE will be all right. She’s a fabulous classy woman with one of the most exceptional voices EVER.

ANNIE LENNOX has undergone successful spinal surgery for a back injury she sustained in Mexico while attending this month’s international AIDS conference, her rep said in a statement yesterday.

“The surgery (to release an impinged nerve) went as planned and ANNIE is now recuperating at home,” said her rep ROGER WIDYNOWSKI. “ANNIE would like to send her thanks and appreciation to all who have sent their well wishes in the past few days.”

Last week Ms. Lennox wrote on her official blog, “I came back to the UK and got wheeled off the plane. A first I must say! Felt a bit like ELIZABETH TAYLOR! Some of my plans and schemes have to be put on hold because there’s not much I can do if I can’t walk properly!!!”

Among the plans that had to be rescheduled is the release of her upcoming retrospective album. Originally slated for a September debut, the album will now hit stores next spring.
