According to the official website of Matador Records, Cat Power, aka Chan Marshall, has announced the cancellation of part of her 2008 spring tour.

The famous "Nora Jones of indie", Marshall, has canceled her next five shows, reportedly. The announcement, sure to let down hundreds, if not thousands, of ticket holders, comes after the cancellation of Cat Power's concert Thursday night in Tempe, Arizona. Marshall will not be performing tonight in Dallas as scheduled.

Matador Records has said that Cat Power's next five shows will also be canceled, per doctor's orders that a strain on her vocal chords must be meet with rest and no singing.

From what we can gather, the following upcoming shows, including a performance at the Beale Street Music Festival in Memphis on May 3, 2008, will not go on.

Saturday, April 19 - Dallas, TX at the Palladium Ballroom (canceled)
Sunday, April 20 - Austin, TX at Stubb's - Outside (canceled)
Tuesday, April 22 - Houston, TX at the Warehouse (canceled)
Saturday, May 3 - Memphis, TN Beale Street Music Festival (canceled)

The following dates have not been confirmed as being canceled yet:

Monday, May 26 - Lisbon, Portugal at Lisbon Coliseum
Wednesday, May 28 - Porto, Portugal at Porto Coliseum
