American Idol winner Jordin Sparks must postpone her tour due to medical problems.

Sparks must bow out of Alicia Keys' tour and cancel all performances for the rest of the month, a representative for the "American Idol" said Monday.

"All of her April activities have been postponed or canceled so she can take care of her voice properly," 19/Jive Records spokeswoman Wendy Washington told The Associated Press.

The teen singing sensation whose hits include her latest, "No Air," was scheduled to be the opening act on Keys' tour, which kicked off over the weekend in Hampton, Va. Washington.

Sparks also bowed out of the scheduled Earth Day Network & Green Apple Festival concert in Washington, D.C.

Washington claims it may be until May that Sparks is resting.

"Jordin Sparks is on vocal rest and is expected to make a full and complete recovery," according to a statement from 19/Jive Records. "Sparks has been going nonstop over the past two years and now she's going through the normal course of learning how to manage and care for her voice."
