Wow. Here’s hoping that this is just a rumor — Jordin Sparks has suffered some vocal injuries and has had to cancel a number of engagements, leading many to speculate that the injuries may prevent Jordin Sparks from ever singing again.

Jordin Sparks was the winner of last season’s American Idol and has been on a whirlwind of singing engagements that have offered her little chance to rest. Jordin Sparks cancelled her appearance at an Earth Day celebration tomorrow and has been replaced by Idol runner-up Blake Lewis.

According to Jordin Sparks’ rep:

“Jordin Sparks is on vocal rest and is expected to make a full and complete recovery. She looks forward to joining Alicia Keys on tour in May. Sparks has been going non-stop over the past two years and now she’s going through the normal course of learning how to manage and care for her voice.

Jordin appreciates the outpouring of concern and well-wishes of her fans as she recuperates at home.”
