Maxwell FORCED To Cancel US Tour + Jennifer Hudson SET TO APPEAR On "Smash"

 

R&B singer Maxwell has cancelled his US tour due to a vocal cord injury. Get the deets inside and find out about Jennifer Hudson appearing on "Smash."

 

Bad news!  R&B crooner Maxwell was forced to cancel his US tour after developing vocal swelling and hemorrhaging.  Under doctor's orders, the singer will undergo treatment and spend the upcoming weeks resting his voice.

He released a statement saying "I’ve temporarily damaged my voice. I’ve had issues before during other tours, but was able to power through. I’ve been strongly advised to rest and undergo treatment.”

The singer added that he plans to hit the road when his new album, blackSUMMERS’night, is released later this year.

 

And on television......

Oscar, Golden Globe and Grammy-winning actress-singer Jennifer Hudson has signed on for a multi-episode arc on NBC’s “Smash.” Jen's first episode will be the second-season premiere where she'll portray Veronica Moore, a Tony Award-winning Broadway star who impacts the lives of Karen (Katharine McPhee) and Ivy (Megan Hilty).

"We're thrilled to have Jennifer Hudson coming to ‘Smash,’” said Robert Greenblatt, Chairman of NBC Entertainment. “This series is a showcase for some of the best musical talent in the business and that's a fitting description for Jennifer Hudson. Her character will represent someone who reached their Broadway dream but also paid a price for it."

The show's executive producer, Steven Spielberg, said: “First ‘Dreamgirls,’ now ‘Smash.’ I have no doubt Jennifer will continue to deliver even more inspiration to the audience responsible for giving us a second season on NBC. It's wonderful to be reunited with her at DreamWorks Television and NBC.”

This summer, Jennifer will begin production on two new films, Lullaby and The Inevitable Defeat of Mister and Pete.  This chick is about her gigs.  Not mad at that.  Congrats Jenny!
