The "Idol" winner will be back on tour in May.

JORDIN SPARKS has been put on full vocal rest, her rep tells ET.

After reports that the "American Idol" winner had to cancel recent shows due to a career-threatening throat condition, the official word from her record label is that she simply is taking a break from a grueling tour schedule.

"Jordin Sparks is on vocal rest  and is expected to make a full and complete recovery.  She looks forward to joining ALICIA KEYS on tour in May.  Sparks has been going non-stop over the past two years and now she's going through the normal course of learning how to manage and care for her voice," a Jive rep tells ET, adding, "Jordin appreciates the outpouring of concern and well-wishes of her fans as she recuperates at home."
