Joss advised to take holiday

Joss Stone has been told to cut her workload, or she risks losing her voice.

She has been told to take a rest, otherwise nodules could develop reports Digitalspy.

The worried singer will now take time out until January, and in the meantime, will practise singing from her chest, rather than from her throat, in order to protect her voice.

A source said: "Joss knows just how valuable a commodity her voice is. As soon as her doctor told her that her voice needed a rest, she didn't hesitate.

"She's still a young girl and she hopes she has a long career ahead of her - providing she doesn't overstretch things."

A spokesman for the star added, "Joss saw a doctor and has been warned that her voice is an instrument that needs protecting by having proper rests."
