Annie Lennox's spine surgery to delay album release

London, Aug 25 : Popstar Annie Lenox has postponed the release of her compilation album following her backbone surgery.

After the 53-year-old popstar was rushed to a hospital for treatment on a trapped nerve, she had to cancel her whole schedule.

"I came home today after six nights in hospital, I had microsurgery on my back on Friday morning to remove some of the vertebra that was impinging on my sad little nerve which was trapped by a bulged disc, resulting in a totally numb and immobile left foot which I could only drag Quasimodo-style around the house," the Daily Express quoted Lennox, as saying.

"My whole schedule has had to be cancelled and [her best-of compilation CD] The Collection will now come out in spring of next year," she added.

The popstar thanked all her fans for their best wishes on her MySpace page.
