Reflecting on her storied life, Andrews revealed that a routine procedure in 1997 to remove a lesion from her vocal cords went tragically wrong, leaving her with irreversible scarring and a voice that no longer resonated with the magic fans adored. In an emotional confession, she discussed the deep sense of loss she felt, describing the experience as akin to losing a part of herself. Andrews’ heart-wrenching journey didn’t end there; she sought justice through a malpractice lawsuit, which was settled privately in 2000, but the damage was done.
