Throat infection threatens Cheryl Cole’s live return

Washington, Nov 16: Cheryl Cole is battling a mysterious throat condition, which is jeopardising her comeback gig at Children in Need Rocks Manchester on Thursday.

The ‘Promise This’ singer has been taken ill ahead of the Children in Need Rocks Manchester charity concert on Thursday, where she is set to sing a duet with Take That frontman Gary Barlow.

“We are watching this space at the moment because Cheryl has been ill over the weekend. So fingers crossed, it’s all going to be all right,” Contactmusic quoted Gary as telling Metro newspaper.

“There’s a chance that Cheryl might have to pull out. The next 24 hours are crucial. She’ll see a doctor on Wednesday morning to see if she can perform,” he added to the Daily Mirror newspaper.

The charity show is thought to be Cheryl’s first scheduled live performance this year. The Children in Need Rocks concert will also see Coldplay, Ed Sheeran, JLS, Elbow, N Dubz, Hugh Laurie, Snow Patrol, Michael Buble and Lady Gaga perform live. (ANI)
