They made the following announcement on the official webpage: “We hate to disappoint you guys, especially after all the support you have given us over the past few years. But due to some private, personal issues we will not be going out on the road and will be canceling all upcoming shows and appearances. We cannot thank you enough for your support and for standing by us.” Here’s hoping that these issues can be resolved, and that this does not mark a permanent withdrawl of this group from the music scene!

[youtube:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0AFLfwyX3rE&feature=BFa] Joyful Noise Summary Oscar® nominees Dolly Parton (“Transamerica,” “Steel Magnolias,” “Nine to Five”) and Queen Latifah (“Chicago,” “Hairspray”) star in Alcon Entertainment’s and Warner Bros. Pictures’ “Joyful Noise,” a funny and inspirational story of music, hope, love and renewal. The small town of Pacashau, Georgia, has fallen on hard times, but the people are counting on the Divinity Church Choir to lift their spirits by winning the National Joyful Noise Competition. The choir has always known how to sing in harmony, but the discord between its two leading ladies now threatens to tear them apart. Their newly appointed director, Vi Rose Hill (Latifah), stubbornly wants to stick with their tried-and-true traditional style, while the fiery G.G. Sparrow (Parton) thinks tried-and-true translates to tired-and-old. Shaking things up even more is the arrival of G.G.’s rebellious grandson, Randy (Jeremy Jordan). Randy has an ear for music, but he also has an eye for Vi Rose’s beautiful and talented daughter, Olivia (Keke Palmer), and the sparks between the two teenagers are causing even more heat between G.G. and Vi Rose. If these two strong-willed women can overcome their differences and find a common voice, they–and their choir–may make the most joyful noise of all. Important Guidelines! * Prize provided by Warner Bros. * Entries must be received by Friday, April 11th. * Winners will not be eligible for another prize drawing until 90days after this one. * 1 Winners will be drawn Friday, April 11th from comments on THIS post and will be notified individually.
