The British singer recently underwent an operation to remove a hemorrhaging nodule on his vocal cord.

His recovery period is set at months and doubts have been cast by his bandmates on the singer's future ability.

Taking to Twitter last night (May 15), Sykes posted that he has started working on rebuilding his voice. He said:

"Had a vocal rehab session today. Slow and steady..."

His bandmates meanwhile recently performed as a quartet on US TV as they appeared on Dancing with the Stars.

The singer is currently taking a break from the group after getting a hemorrhaging nodule removed from his vocal cord.

It will take months for the Brit to recover from the operation, with the singer's future vocal ability in doubt.

It was business as usual for The Wanted, however, who performed a cover of Tori Kelly's 'Fill A Heart' on US TV show Dancing with the Stars as a foursome.

Tom Parker meanwhile tweeted about their link-up with charity Child Hunger Ends Here: "Loved performing on DWTS. And it was for a real worthy cause."

Avril Lavigne also performed on the TV show as she promotes her latest single 'Here's To Never Growing Up'.

She came out on top with an impressive 54% of the vote although she also scored an 18% negativity rating. Country-pop hitmaker Taylor Swift also did well with results of 53% positive and 27% negative.

The stars that didn't do so well include Lady Gaga, who is currently recovering from hip surgery after suffering a labral tear on her Born This Way Ball tour earlier this year, Chris Brown and Justin Bieber.

Canadian sensation Bieber attractive 20% positive compared to 54% negative, 'Don't Wake Me Up' superstar Brown only received 13% positive votes alongside 57% negative, and 'Judas' beauty Gaga scored a little higher with 29% positive but also had 50% negative votes.

Meanwhile, a wax figure of Adele is due to be on display at Madame Tussauds in London from July and a photograph of the likeness was teased earlier this month.

The boyband will take in the surreal moment on tonight's (May 14) episode of US reality show Dancing with the Stars.

They will be joined on the program by Avril Lavigne as they mark their 300th episode.

The Wanted will perform 'Fill A Heart', whilst Lavigne will play new single 'Here's To Never Growing Up'.

The British and Irish boyband have been preparing for this moment for a number weeks after singer Nathan Sykes underwent surgery to remove a hemorrhaging nodule.

Doubts have been cast by the group over what his voice will be like in the months ahead, but Jay McGuiness said that Sykes will always have a place in the group.

The superstar, who is currently recovering from throat surgery, took to her official website over the weekend (December 3) to thank her fans for their unwavering support and to share her great news. She wrote:

"Just home from New York, that’s my main excuse for not posting a message sooner, but I’m also completely and utterly lost for words. A couple days after finally being able to talk again I’m pretty speechless. Thank you so much to the academy for nominating this record for 6 Grammys!!!"

Her latest album, '21', has been recognised in 6 highly respected categories including Album of the Year and Best Pop Vocal Album, and she gave credit to the people who have both bought and listened to it in her post, adding:

"This has been the best year as it is but to end 2011 with this incredible achievement and honour is beyond anything I can express. Thank you to every single person who has taken a shining to this record, for making it have such an impact, this record has taken on a life of its own thanks to you. I made the record and you’ve made it what’s its become."

It was revealed earlier this week that the 'Turning Tables' superstar planned to return to the stage with a special live show on the finale of the talent contest next month, but a representative for the singer has now outed the rumour as false. 

The spokeswoman insisted a performance is "not going to happen" and Adele recently told fans that she is "doing really well, on the mend, super happy, relaxed and very positive with it all" following her throat surgery.

The hospital said the 23-year-old British singer came to Boston to undergo the surgery with Dr. Steven Zeitels, director of the Massachusetts General Hospital Voice Center. The hospital said Zeitels expects Adele to make a full recovery from the laser microsurgery.

Pressparty revealed on October 29 that Adele was to undergo surgery.

Kelly said:  "I'm on Mission Benjamin Button right now, I'ma turn back time. I just did the whole 'Love Letter' joint and everybody thinking, `Well, that's the direction he going now.' No, that was a moment in time. Now this 'Black Panties' album, I think it'll be an R&B-like thriller album, if you will."

Kelly is recovering well from emergency throat surgery which he underwent in July to drain an abscess on one of his tonsils.
