ShareThisJune 2, 2010 TORONTO, Canada – Is superstar Nora Aunor’s singing career over? Her loyal fans here raised the question after the singer herself reported that that her concert here was her last. Aunor disclosed to her fans that she has been advised by her doctor not to sing, or even speak. Through the concert, she was lip synching her songs, and hoping her fans understand her situation. 
Aunor’s onstage spiels included bits and pieces of information that hinted of a surgical procedure gone wrong and a subsequent lawsuit, reported Marlou Tiro of ABS-CBN’sNorth America News Bureau. The report on the network’s website quoted a source who claimed that singeractress was filing a malpractice lawsuit against a doctor who performed surgery in Japan that damaged her vocal cords. Aunor was supposed to go to the Philippines for a well deserved homecoming and rest after the surgery but this did not materialize.
It was pointed out that the alleged botched surgery may have effectively ended her career as a singer. “Hindi ko pa puwedeng sabihin lahat dahil meron akong group of lawyers. Itong usaping ito ay napakadelikado,” said Aunor, who neither confirmed nor denied a lawsuit and botched surgery.
Aunor’s voice was uncharacteristically hoarse and raspy, the network reported, adding that that she even cried backstage as her fans have stayed loyal to her. “Natutuwa ako sapagkat ang mga tao, noon hanggang ngayon hindi pa rin nawalan ng pag-asa. Masaya ako dahil sila nandito pa rin,” Aunor said. Tearful fans said they are willing to continue supporting their idol. “I’m willing to help in prayer and in finance,” said one. “I’m going to help her, nagsasabi siya ng totoo,” said another.
Last February, the singer-actress revealed that she was staging a comeback to Philippine show business. To prepare for her return to acting, she underwent “cosmetic enhancement” in Japan, after authorities lifted a five-year ban preventing her from leaving the US in connection with a drug case.
While in Japan, Aunor had a reunion with her children who flew there from Manila. One of her children is Ian de Leon, her son by actor Christopher de Leon.
