According to the People, X Factor winner Shayne Ward will have to undergo surgery on his voice box after doctors discovered 'growths' that could risk his singing voice in the future. X Factor judge and Ward's manager Louis Walsh told the tabloid: "It's serious. We're waiting to hear what the specialists say."
Ward could have the surgery in the next few weeks, pushing back the release date of his debut album to June, which is very serious, I'm not sure the fickle viewing public will still remember who he is by then.
