Bill Can Speak Again!

A week and a half after his vocal cord operation, Tokio Hotel singer Bill Kaulitz may speak again. “Bill’s speech prohibition has ended, but initially he needs to speak very little, carefully, and quietly.

“At the moment Bill is not allowed to speak on the telephone at all”, band manager David Jost told the German press agent dpa on Thursday. “The first words that Bill now spoke tens days after the operation were totally feeble, but very clear “ahhh” and then followed by one, two, three”. 18-year old Kaulitz underwent a vocal cord operation on March 31, which is why the band had to call off some concerts.

Part of the cancelled appearances was also a concert in Dortmund , which was scheduled for March 31, the day of the operation. This concert is expected to be rescheduled for June 13, said Jost. The original tickets are still valid. The band’s first appearance after the operation will be on May 3 at the Bamboozle-Festival near New York . On May 9 they will then be guests on a US talk show, Jost reported.

The healing process for singer Bill is running optimally. “Bill must still endure a lot, but he does not have any pain”, said Jost. He must do regular voice exercises. “Bill’s exercises are a little like learning to speak again.” He can only count the days of the week or something similar for example. “At the moment, Bill may not speak more than two to three minutes at a time.” Bill is happy to have been able to put both the operation and silent phase behind him.
