Day 10 after the vocal cord surgery of Bill (18). The day the Tokio Hotel singer has been waiting for, [the day] he was allowed to speak again. But just how easy is it if you weren’t allowed to say anything for such a long time? B.Z. enquires.
Initially the first words spoken by Bill after the surgery were a cautious and tentatively "Ahhh" and that was followed by sound check-like "one, two, three", manager and producer David Jost (35) explains. According to Jost, he squeezed them out cautiously and thankfully is not be in pain anymore.
Nevertheless, the teen-favourite has to abide by strict doctors’ regulations, "Bill has to continue to inhale a lot and should speak only quite cautiously and as little as possible. “Bill is not allowed to make phone calls at all," says Jost. However, little-Bill is an ambitious fella: "Bill wants to get back on stage as quickly as possible and is putting way too much mental pressure on himself, in my opinion.”
The schedule was already fully booked over the next weeks. However, Jost is a considerate manager: "To relieve him from the pressure and to provide him with more time for his recovery and voice rehabilitation we moved the Conan O' Brien TV show in New York from 28th April to 9th May. We cancelled the concert in Washington D.C. on 1st May and we will move the signing at the Virgin-Mega-Store on Times Square from 29th April to 6th May."
Presumably the first brief performance of the band will be in front of approximately 30,000 people at the Bamboozle festival in New York on 3rd May.
