Within hours of finding out that her debut album, “Yours Truly,” was going straight to number one, doctors ordered Ariana Grande to stop using her voice immediately.
According to ABC News , Grande was ordered on vocal rest after suffering a vocal cord hemorrhage.
The Huffington Post stated that the 20-year-old singer, who rose to fame with roles in the Nickelodeon shows “Victorious” and “Sam & Cat,” reportedly turned up the volume a bit too high and landed herself on the bench.
Grande told her twitter followers that she was taking some time off for vocal rest due to being irresponsible and “screaming too much” at her part.
ABC News noted that according to Dr. Jennifer Long of the UCLA Medical Center, a vocal cord hemorrhage occurs when a blood vessel within the vocal cord ruptures, causing a bruise in the delicate tissue used to produce voice.
Long, who has not treated Grande , said the injury could permanently change voice quality of it’s not treated appropriately.
The injury has forced Grande to cancel dozens of media appearances designed to capitalize on her chart-topping hit, “The Way.”
