Cape Town — South African music sensation, Tyla, sadly announced to her fans that she’s cancelled her upcoming European and North American tours as she’s been suffering with an injury.
Tyla burst onto the scene with her hit song, Water, last year and she hasn’t looked back since. She has garnered global fame and international success, culminating in a sensational grammy win in February this year.
However, in a lengthy statement posted on Instagram, she delivered bad news to her fans as she had to cancel all of her tours this year due to an injury she’s been suffering from in silence. She told fans not to worry as she’ll be back to performing pain free again and that fans can still expect to see her around.
“My Tygers, All of you know that this moment you have all helped me transform into a reality, has been a lifelong dream. I am so grateful and humbled by this post year and the way it’s changed my life I can never thank you guys enough for all your loving support, all the joy, the laughter, and the wins.” she said.
“As much as this is something I would rather have dealt with privately, it’s important that I share what I have to share with you today. For the past year I’ve been silently suffering with an injury that has tragically worsened. I’ve seen doctors and specialists with high hopes but the pain has only become more agonising as has the severity of the situation.” she continued.
“I am absolutely heartbroken to have to say this but as of right now won’t be able to proceed with the tour. In consulting with medical professionals it’s become increasingly clear that continuing any festival or tour dates would jeopardise my long-term health and safety. Words cannot describe my frustration at this pivotal point in my career: So please know that my team and I are working diligently on a spectacular show for you as soon as I am recovered and ready to return safely onstage this summer.” she added.
“For North American headline dates, your tickets will automatically be refunded, for all other territories you will be contacted by your ticket provider regarding options, please keep a look out for new dates and information. Thank you Tygers for understanding.” she concluded.
