It was confirmed on Twitter a few weeks back, however Anastacia has recently had to cancel and reschedule her European tour due to laryngitis under strict conditions from her doctor so I'm assuming an X Factor performance may now be off the cards. She was fun when she guest judged in Scotland last time receiving cracking reviews.

It's a shame as I think X Factor would have gave her UK Top 10 album 'Resurrection' some great exposure as I believe this has been her best album since 'Anastacia'.

No she can still perform if its the end of the month because with medication it can go within a week or 2

Is she in remission??? I hope so, she's amazing

I hope she is well but I would not think an X factor performance is very likely, sadly she hasn't been relevant for about a decade

And Mel B has?

She is part of the family though

I don't like mel but she isn't expect to perform and has no expectations to

She's still there week after week having an input.

She's had cancer twice in the last 10 years, I think dealing with that is more important than trying to stay relevant.

So what, if Anastacia is not 'relevant'. If she does make a come-back and perform on the X Factor (which would be great), she would still wipe the floor with most of the previous guests who have performed on it - she is such an excellent singer.

Im surprised that Anastacia was even booked in the first place - she hasnt had a hit in years, and has absolutely no musical relevance to anybody in the uk except a (very small) fanbase. There is no denying she has an excellent voice, and I do wish her well as she has had the most awful health issues, but it would be akin to having Daniel Bedingfield on or something like that.

That was a false rumour, she was never booked to perform.

Who else is on that week... Kavanagh?

Well that would be a dream come true for me as seen him live many times and he is brilliant and sadly missed!

I would be very very suprised had she of been booked to perform due to the non relevance thing others have mentioned , however that's not to say I agree with that, in fact i would like it if they had maybe one of the 2 performances each week as someone like this who is well known to the audience but not so much of a big chart player anymore, I'm still holding out for a mc busted performance but again consider this unlikely

I'd much prefer to see her than many acts they could book who you might call "relevant". The best tracks don't go off like mouldy bread

They have had some of the biggest singers in the world who havent been 'relevant' such as celine dion, lionel richie, whitney houston, janet jackson etc

Daniel would be such an awesome guest performance! He was a judge/mentor on The X Factor NZ and also on the world X Factor with Paula Abdul and Louis Walsh and performed on both. I'd love to see him as a judge on The X Factor UK! Daniel left his record label and released an independent EP called Stop the Traffik - Secret Fear last year (smarturl.it/secretfear, https://soundcloud.com/usvstheminc/s...ld-secret-fear, youtube.com/danielbedingfld)

Ah I forgot that you were her manager. The rumour was in fact true.

It depends on how severe it is. Full blown laryngitis with complete voice loss, which is the most frightening ,weird thing in the world, can last for weeks and take months to completely recover from .

Vocal fatigue from overuse and often improper technique paired with the aftereffects of a bad cold, the seemingly most common malady to effect X Factor contestants, is a problem, but not actual acute laryngitis.It's possible, though not always smart if avoidable, to sing with that condition. With severe laryngitis, you cannot even make a sound when you try to speak.
