Akina Nakamori cancels dinner shows due to poor health

Sports Hochi reports that singer Akina Nakamori (45) has suddenly canceled 10 dinner shows scheduled for December, due to problems with her health. However, she has given no explanation of her condition, and her official website still has not yet made an announcement about the cancellations.

Nakamori had planned to perform her dinner shows at high-class hotels in seven cities throughout the country between December 11 and December 24. Tickets had already gone on sale. Nakamori has not held a concert so far this year, so these shows would have been her only live performances of the year.

The sudden announcement could indicate a serious illness, since the shows are more than a month away. Her record label was reached for comment, but it stated that it has only heard that the shows were canceled due to “poor health.” The hotels have also not been given any other information beyond that.

One rumor being reported by another news source is that Nakamori has to undergo surgery to remove a polyp in her throat, and will consequently be unable to sing for some time after that. However, that story has not yet been confirmed.
