Sam Fender Postpones Shows: Singer's Vocal Cord Issue Forces Hiatus
Singapore fans, brace yourselves! Beloved Geordie singer-songwriter Sam Fender has unfortunately had to postpone a string of upcoming gigs due to a frustrating health issue affecting his vocal cords. The news, shared via his social media channels on Friday, has sent ripples of disappointment through his fanbase.
The 31-year-old artist revealed that he sought immediate medical attention earlier this week after experiencing difficulties with his voice. A thorough examination by his Ear, Nose, and Throat (ENT) specialist confirmed the need for a period of rest and recovery to prevent further damage.
“Gutted to announce that I’m going to have to postpone the upcoming shows,” Fender wrote in his post. “I saw my ENT doctor earlier this week and we’ve decided that the best course of action is for me to take a break for the next couple of weeks to allow my vocal cords to rest and recover.” He emphasized his disappointment, stating, “This is a really frustrating situation, and I’m so sorry to everyone who was looking forward to seeing us.”
What Does This Mean for Fans?
The postponement impacts a significant number of shows. Fender’s team is working diligently to reschedule the affected dates and will release updated information as soon as possible. Ticket holders are advised to keep an eye on the official Sam Fender website and ticketing platforms for announcements regarding refunds or rescheduled dates. It’s crucial to avoid purchasing tickets from unofficial sources to ensure legitimacy.
