CHAMPAIGN – The Jordin Sparks concert at the University of Illinois Assembly Hall, scheduled for Friday, has been canceled. An Assembly Hall press release said the former American Idol winner can't perform due to an "acute vocal cord hemorrhage condition."

"Sparks has been ordered to strict vocal rest and will not be able to perform anywhere until her condition improves," the release said.
