British soul singer Sam Smith has been diagnosed with a hemorrhage to his vocal cords, and he's been ordered to stop singing until he's healthy.
Sam Smith was on tour in Australia where all his upcoming shows have now been canceled.
In a message he shared on Instagram, Smith says:
- "I am deeply, deeply saddened to tell my Australian fans, I have to cancel my Australian tour. I have been vocally exhausted for a while now however last night in Sydney I had a small hemorrhage on my vocal cords. The doctors have told me I need to fully rest until my vocal chords have healed, otherwise this could become a huge long-term issue. I am so sorry to all who have bought tickets, I truly am. This kills me."
