Sam Smith was playing a show in Manchester yesterday, but he walked off of the stage after four songs.
After the show ended, he took to social media to apologize to the audience and explained what happened. A few weeks ago, he fought off a virus and thought he was better. However, yesterday during the third song, he noticed that there was something wrong with his voice. So when it didn’t get any better during the fourth song (a tribute to the late Tina Turner), he ended his show early.
Today, he gave an update on his condition from the promoters, “A SPOKESPERSON SAID ‘DOCTORS HAVE ADVISED DUE TO A VOCAL CORD INJURY, SAM MUST HAVE COMPLETE VOCAL REST.
“SAM IS HEARTBROKEN TO HAVE HAD TO CANCEL THESE SHOWS [Birmingham and Glasgow] BUT THEY HAVE BEEN TOLD BY DOCTORS THAT IF THEY KEEP SINGING, THEY WILL DO PERMANENT DAMAGE TO THEIR VOICE. IF THEY TAKE SOME REST THEY WILL BE ABLE TO PERFORM AGAIN.'”
Hopefully, he will be better soon. And he will be able to save his voice from permanent damage.
