Superstar Nora Aunor flew to Australia last week for her concert, but she failed to sing there. The seasoned actress and singer known for her golden voice nevertheless was able to explain her condition, pointing out that she lost her singing voice after undergoing cosmetic surgery in Japan. “Hindi ninyo alam kung gaano kasakit sa isang performer lalo na sa akin. ‘Yong boses hindi naman pinag-aaralan ‘yon. Bigay sa akin ng Diyos…. Ito ang pinagkunan ko para maiangat ang pamilya ko sa kahirapan,” the emotional La Aunor told her audience.
Despite her failure to sing, her fans and supporters at the concert did not complain, saying they understand her. “It was enough that we saw her in person, and heard her voice, even if she did not sing,” several fans said.
Juan Rodrigo, a friend of her who was with her in Australia said they were overwhelmed by the support of Filipinos for Nora in Australia. “Sa bawat puntahan namin na city sa Australia, ang daming tao. Hindi mo talaga maubos-maisip. Ang dami pa ring fans ni Guy.
Punum-puno ‘yong mga venues namin,” Rodrigo recounted. “Pinapalakpakan siya ng mga tao sa tuwing magsasalita siya. Obviously, kailangan pa niyang ipahinga ang kanyang boses kaya mahina lang ang kanyang pagsasalita,” Rodrigo added. German Moreno, a friend of Nora, joined her in the concert and gave some numbers. Nora, who is Nora Villamayor in real life, is poised to file a case against the doctor who performed the surgery that damaged her vocal cords.
She admitted that she need money for her lawyers so she is on a fund raising for that, according to an ABS-CBN report. Last February, Nora announced that she was staging a comeback to Philippine show business. And to prepare for her return to acting, the actress-singer passed by Japan for cosmetic procedures.
The botched operation on her prevented her from going home to Manila. It was earlier gathered that Nora reportedly passed out during her operation so the doctor pricked her affecting her vocal chord.
