Justin Timberlake has undergone surgery in Los Angeles to remove throat nodules from his vocal cords, People magazine reports. Timberlake, 24, had the procedure May 5 at an undisclosed facility in Los Angeles. The growths were benign, but it will be at least three months before Timberlake can croon again.
The throat surgery is not uncommon for professional singers and is not expected to permanetly affect Timberlake's famed falsetto. No immediate word from Jive Records on whether Timberlake's recovery will delay production on his follow-up to his multiplatinum, Grammy-winning Justified, but the erstwhile Mouseketeer will have to produce something better than a whisper for his upcoming part in Shrek 3.
The budding thesp landed will voice a teenage King Arthur opposite gal-pal Cameron Diaz in the next installment of the blockbuster-animated franchise.
The film isn't due until 2007, but early recording is expected to get underway this summer.
