“Today I have had an ENT scope/camera down my throat and sadly I’ve haemorrhaged my right vocal chord, I’m absolutely heartbroken,” he continued. “This has been the best tour so far and all I want to do is get up and sing again for you all tonight.”

“I’ve done everything by the book this tour living like a monk, it’s so unlucky. I’m so so sorry to all of you who are on your way tonight. We’re trying to figure out a way to reschedule for you all, more news soon x,” Fender concluded his post.
