Spektor illness may derail show

After being diagnosed with an inner-ear infection last week, singer Regina Spektor may not perform as scheduled today, Duke University Union officials confirmed Sunday.

Spektor is still expected to arrive on campus today.

"She will be here, so any decision she makes will be very last minute," said DUU Vice President of Programming Adam Nathan, a sophomore.

Major Attractions Director Chamindra Goonewardene, a junior, said Spektor performed Sunday night in Charleston, W.Va., and is expected to perform today.

"She will be performing from what we already know," he said. "She's coming in tomorrow morning, hopefully she won't fall sick."

Junior Vincent Ling, head of production for Major Attractions, said Spektor's agent contacted the Union Saturday to inform them of the situation and said she was still not feeling well.

Because her inner-ear infection developed into an unexpected case of vertigo, Spektor collapsed in Nashville, Tenn., before a performance Nov. 14. As a result, she postponed her Nashville, Atlanta, Ga. and Norfolk, Va., concerts, scheduled for Nov. 14, 15 and 16 respectively, according to her Web site.
