However, her life and career took a drastic turn in 1997 after she started experiencing issues with her world-renowned singing voice. At the time, the “Duet for One” star was poised to tour “Victor/Victoria” following its Broadway run. But before the start of her engagement, she visited her throat specialist to get assistance with some vocal discomfort she was experiencing. “I had gotten a small weak spot, I never got a nodule or anything like that, but it would occasionally swell up with a little fluid and things,” she explained to The Hollywood Reporter in 2015.
The Oscar winner went on to say that during her visit, the doctor zeroed in on a cyst that was located on her vocal cords. “He said, ‘If I don’t make you right, you will not survive on the road.’ And I knew it was wrong to do it, I didn’t respect my own voice enough, and I said yes,” she explained. Unfortunately, Andrews’ suspicions were right, with the supposed simple procedure permanently destroying her impressive vocal range.
